Question

$$2y+\frac{5}{3}-\frac{26}{3}-y$$

Evaluate

$y-7$

Solution Steps

Since $\frac{5}{3}$ and $\frac{26}{3}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2y+\frac{5-26}{3}-y$$

Subtract $26$ from $5$ to get $-21$.

$$2y+\frac{-21}{3}-y$$

Divide $-21$ by $3$ to get $-7$.

$$2y-7-y$$

Combine $2y$ and $-y$ to get $y$.

$$y-7$$

Factor

$y-7$

Solution Steps

Factor out $\frac{1}{3}$.

$$\frac{3y-21}{3}$$

Consider $6y+5-26-3y$. Multiply and combine like terms.

$$3y-21$$

Consider $3y-21$. Factor out $3$.

$$3\left(y-7\right)$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$y-7$$
