Basic Math Examples

$y + \frac{2}{3} = - \frac{10}{3}$

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{2}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - \frac{10}{3} - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$y = \frac{- 10 - 2}{3}$

Step 3

Subtract $2$ from $- 10$ .

$y = \frac{- 12}{3}$

Step 4

Divide $- 12$ by $3$ .

$y = - 4$
