Sagot :

Answer:

y = 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5 + y = -1/4

Add 4/5 to each side

-4/5  +4/5 + y = -1/4+4/5

y = -1/4 + 4/5

Get a common denominator

y = -1/4 *5/5   + 4/5 *4/4

y = -5/20 + 16/20

y = 11/20

Check

-4/5 +11/20 = -1/4

Get a common denominator

-4/5*4/4 + 11/20 = -1/4*5/5

-16/20 +11/20 = -5/20

-5/20 = - 5/20

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] - \frac{4}{5} + y = - \frac{1}{4} \\ y = \frac{ - 1}{4} + \frac{4}{5} \\ y = \frac{ - 5 + 16}{20} \\ y = \frac{11}{20} [/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{11}{20} [/tex]
