Question

-\\( \frac{4}{5}y + \frac{1}{2} = \\)

Explanation:

Identify the given expression

We are given an algebraic expression with fractional coefficients:

$$ -\frac{4}{5}y + \frac{1}{2} = $$

Analyze simplification possibilities

This expression contains two terms:

• A variable term: \(-\frac{4}{5}y\)
• A constant term: \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Since these are unlike terms, they cannot be combined further.

Write the simplified expression

The expression is already in its simplest form. We can write it with a common denominator if needed, or keep it as is.

$$ -\frac{4}{5}y + \frac{1}{2} $$

Alternatively, finding a common denominator of \(10\):

$$ -\frac{8}{10}y + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{-8y + 5}{10} $$

The standard simplified form is \(-\frac{4}{5}y + \frac{1}{2}\).
