Solve 2y/7-7/8=9/56

Evaluate

(2 \times \frac{y}{7}) - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{9}{56}

Multiply the terms

\frac{2 y}{7} - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{9}{56}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

\frac{2 y}{7} = \frac{9}{56} + \frac{7}{8}

Add the numbers

More Steps

\frac{2 y}{7} = \frac{29}{28}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7

\frac{2 y}{7} \times 7 = \frac{29}{28} \times 7

Multiply the terms

2 y = \frac{29 \times 7}{28}

Divide the terms

2 y = \frac{29}{4}

Multiply by the reciprocal

2 y \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{29}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}

Multiply

y = \frac{29}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}

Solution
