y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly multiply each and every term by 9

17/9 - y/3 = - 4/9

; 17 - 3y = - 4 ... then move the variabkes without (y) to one side,

; 21 = 3y ... then divide both sides by 3

; 7 = y

; Hence ..., y = 7

1 8/9 - 1 y/3 = - 4/9Solve for y.

1 8/9 - 1 y/3 = - 4/9

Solve for y.
