1/6 y + 1/4 y = -1 algebra 1 help!!! URGENT!?

Question

1/6 y + 1/4 y = -1

i got -144/60 or 36/15 is that right?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I am reading it right, but this is how I read it:

(1/6)y + (1/4)y = -1     (is this right??)

2y + 3y = - 12

5y = - 12

  y = - 12/5

or is it this one??

(1/6y) + (1/4y) = - 1

(2/12y) + (3/12y) = - 1

(5/12y) = - 1

5 = - 12y

y = - 5/12

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Check this out:

1/6 y + 1/4 y = -1

(1/6+1/4)y = -1

5/12 y = -1

5/12 y / (5/12) = -1/(5/12)

y = -2.4

(Sorry, didn't convert it back in fraction)

  

Answer 3

(4/24+6/24)y = - 1

10/24 y = -1

10y = -24

y = -2.4
