Question

(8 3/14 - y): 3/7 = 17

Answer 1

$\bigg(8\tt\displaystyle\frac{3}{14}-y\bigg):\frac{3}{7}=17\\\\\\8\frac{3}{14}-y=17*\frac{3}{7}\\\\\\\frac{8*14+3}{14}-y=\frac{17*3}{7}\\\\\\\frac{115}{14}-y=\frac{51}{7}\\\\\\y=\frac{115}{14}-\frac{51}{7}\\\\\\y=\frac{115}{14}-\frac{51*2}{7*2}\\\\\\y=\frac{115}{14}-\frac{102}{14}\\\\\\y=\frac{13}{14}$
