Question

(5/3) - (y/4) = 16

find the y.​

Answer 1

$( \frac{5}{3} ) - ( \frac{y}{4} ) = 16 \\ \\ = > \frac{(5 \times 4) - (y \times 3)}{(3 \times 4)} = 16 \\ \\ = > \frac{20 - 3y }{12} = 16 \\ \\ = > 20 - 3y = (16 \times 12) \\ \\ = > 20 - 3y = 192 \\ \\ = > (- 3y) = (192 - 20) \\ \\ = > ( - 3y) = 172 \\ \\ = > \green{\boxed{ y = - \frac{172}{3} }}$
