2/5-y / y-2?

Question

subtract and simplify

Answer 1

2/5-y / y-2
Unclear what you have here: Right now it reads:
(2/5) -(y/y) -2
= 2/5 -1 -2
= .4 - 3
= -2.6
But perhaps you mean:
(2/5 - y)/(y-2) If so, then
=(.4-y)/(y-2) and that's as far as you can go.
On the other hand you could mean
[(2/5-y)/y] -2 in which case we have:
(.4-y)/y -2
=(.4-y)/y - 2y/y
= (.4 -y -2y)/y
=(.4-3y)/y
But in no case do I see how to use your instructions to subtract and multiply. It would be helpful if you always presented your problem in a clear and ambiguous way.

Answer 2

y= 12/10

Answer 3

Ok guys since there are no brackets you have to do order of operations, that is multiply and divide come first, then addition and subtraction come second. You have 2/5-y/y-2. So...

2/5 = .4
-y/y = -1

So now we have....

.4 - 1 - 2 ta da!!!!

now you have -2.6.....

Isnt that cool!!!

Answer 4

2-5y/5 by y-2/1
2-5y=5y-10[since a/b divided by c/d aXd ,cXb where axb,cxd are equal]
12=10y
y=12/10=6/5
