Answer:
y= -69/8 (negative 69 over 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to simplify both sides of the equation:
[tex]-2/3y+ -3/4 =5[/tex]
Second, add 3/4 to both sides:
-2/3y +-3/4 + 3/4=5 +3/4
-2/3y= 23/4
Next, multiply both sides by 3/(-2) (3 over -2)
(3/-2)*(-2/3y)= (3/-2) * (23/4)
y= -69/8
