y=4/8.
Here's how you solve it:
y-7/8=-3/8
+7/8=+7/8
y=4/8 which is 1/2

-3/8 + -7/8
-10/8 (-1 2/8) - -7/8 is equal to -10/8 + 7/8 which is -3/8
hope it helps!

Carry each item to the same base, then ignore the base: using an LCM of 8, you will get 8y - 7 = -3. I'm sure you can take it form there.

Try turning the fractions into decimals 1st! y-0.875=-0.375
Making y=0.5
