Hi tina4545,

Since you didn't use any grouping symbols, this is what you have:

[1] $\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{9}{5}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$

$\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{11}{5}$

$\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{11}{5}-1$

$\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{6}{5}$

$\displaystyle 10y=-18$

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{9}{5}$


[1] $\displaystyle 18 \div 1 \div 2 \div 3 \div 4 = \frac{3}{4}$

[1] $\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{9}{5}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$
$\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{11}{5}$

Right side should be 13/5

 

[masters]

[1] $\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{9}{5}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$
$\displaystyle 1-\frac{2}{3}y=\frac{11}{5}$

Right side should be 13/5

So that means 9 - 1 + 3 = 13 ??

You need to use grouping - paranthesis - for the second problem. Is it:

$\displaystyle \frac{18}{\left [\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}\right ]}$

or

\(\displaystyle \frac{\left [\frac{18}{\frac{1}{2}}\right ]}{\frac{3}{4}}}\)

or something else???

I'm already there...thanks for keeping the chair warm!

You have already got your answer from Master. But, getting your math problems solved is not the actual solution. Being a teacher and a mother, I would suggest you to learn the subject properly and do your homework by your own. You can ask your parents or teachers for help. Otherwise take help of a good tutoring site like SPAM or SPAM.
