Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form.

\newline

\frac{3}{5} - y

Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the operation to be performed. $\newline$ The given expression is $\frac{3}{5} - y$ . We need to express $y$ as a fraction with a common denominator to subtract it from $\frac{3}{5}$ .
Express $y$ as Fraction: Express $y$ as a fraction with the common denominator $5$ . $\newline$ Since $y$ can be written as $\frac{y}{1}$ , we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $5$ to get the common denominator. $\newline$ $\frac{y \times 5}{5} = \frac{5y}{5}$
Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite the expression with the common denominator. $\newline$ Now we have $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{5y}{5}$ . With the common denominator of $5$ , we can combine the numerators.
Subtract Numerators: Subtract the numerators and write the result over the common denominator. $\newline$ $(3 - 5y)/5$ $\newline$ This is the expression simplified as a single fraction.
