Answer:
Your answer of [tex]-\frac{39}{8y}[/tex] is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin with the expression: [tex]-\frac{4}{y} +(-\frac{7}{8y} )[/tex]
First, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case would be 8y.
To make the first term have a denominator of 8y, we must multiply it by [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{4}{y}(\frac{8}{8}) +(-\frac{7}{8y} )\\\\-\frac{32}{8y} +(-\frac{7}{8y} )[/tex]
Now we can add them to get our final answer.
[tex]-\frac{39}{8y}[/tex]
