Question

Subtract the like following like terms:

$\frac{3}{4}y\text{-}\frac{1}{2}\text{y}$

Answer 1

Finding the subtraction

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}y\text{-}\frac{1}{2}\text{y}=\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\right)y \\ =\left(\frac{3\times 1-1\times 2}{4}\right)y \\ =\left(\frac{3-2}{4}\right)y \\ =\frac{1}{4}y \\ So,\frac{3}{4}y\text{-}\frac{1}{2}\text{y}=\frac{1}{4}y \end{gathered}$$
