5/2 - y = 1/3 What are the steps to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 5/2 from both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then find the least common denominator in order to subtract the two fractions on the right side of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since you're solving for y, not "-y" multiply both sides of the equation by -1
