Question

9 1/4 = y - 1 1/3 Solve the equation

Answer 1

$9 \frac{1}{4}=y-1 \frac{1}{3}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{9 \times 4+1}{4} = y-\frac{3 \times 1+1}{3} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{37}{4} = y-\frac{4}{3}\\ \\ \Rightarrow y = \frac{37}{4}+\frac{4}{3} \\ \\ \Rightarrow y = \frac{37 \times 3+4 \times 4}{4 \times 3}= \frac{127}{12}$

Answer 2

9 1/4 = y - 1 1/3 
⇒ 37/4 = y - 4/3
⇒ y = 37/4 + 4/3 
⇒ y = (111 + 16)/12
⇒ y = 127/12 .
