Question

Solve the following equation $2y-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

We have the equation as $2y-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2y=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2y=\frac{-2+3}{6}$

$2y=\frac{1}{6}$

$y=\frac{1}{12}$

Hence, $y=\frac{1}{12}$ is the solution of the given equation
