Question

Simplify$-\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}$

Short answer

On simplifying the given expression, we get

$-\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}=-\frac{15y+28}{60}$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information 

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Theexpressiongivenis}\\ -\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}\\ \text{Wehavetosimplifythegivenexpression.}\end{array}$

Step 2. Simplify

$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow -\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}=\frac{\left(-7\times 4\right)-\left(y\times 15\right)}{15\times 4}\\ \Rightarrow -\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}==\frac{-28-15y}{60}\\ \Rightarrow -\frac{7}{15}-\frac{y}{4}=-\frac{15y+28}{60}\end{array}$
