To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Given the equation:
- 3/8 = - 3/2 * y + 7/4
First, let's simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction:
8 * (- 3/8) = 8 * (- 3/2 * y + 7/4)
-3 = -12y + 14
Next, subtract 14 from both sides:
-3 - 14 = -12y
-17 = -12y
Finally, divide by -12 to solve for y:
y = -17/-12
y = 17/12
Therefore, y = 17/12.
Solve for y.
- 3/8 = - 3/2 * y + 7/4

Solve for x.
- 1/3 + 1/2 * x = - 6/5
- 1/3 + 1/2 * x = - 6/5
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Given the equation:
- 1/3 + 1/2 * x = -6/5
First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 30.
Multiply each term by 30 to get rid of the fractions:
30 * (-1/3) + 30 * (1/2) * x = 30 * (-6/5)
-10 + 15x = - 36
Next, add 10 to both sides:
15x = -26
Finally, divide by 15 to solve for x:
x = -26/15
Therefore, x = -26/15.
Given the equation:
- 1/3 + 1/2 * x = -6/5
First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 30.
Multiply each term by 30 to get rid of the fractions:
30 * (-1/3) + 30 * (1/2) * x = 30 * (-6/5)
-10 + 15x = - 36
Next, add 10 to both sides:
15x = -26
Finally, divide by 15 to solve for x:
x = -26/15
Therefore, x = -26/15.
