Solve for y.

50/90-y=5/18

y = 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

50/90-y=5/18

Lets simplify our fractions

50/90 = 5/9 (divide top and bottom by 10)

5/9 - y = 5/18

Subtract 5/9 from each side

5/9 - 5/9 - y = 5/18 - 5/9

-y = 5/18 - 5/9

We need to get a common denominator of 18

-y = 5/18 - 5/9 * 2/2

-y = 5/18 - 10/18

-y = - 5/18

Multiply each side by - 1

-1*-y = - 5/18 * - 1

y = 5/18
