Simplify y+(y-3)/3

$y + \frac{y - 3}{3}$

Step 1

To write $y$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$y \cdot \frac{3}{3} + \frac{y - 3}{3}$

Step 2

Simplify terms.

Combine $y$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$\frac{y \cdot 3}{3} + \frac{y - 3}{3}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{y \cdot 3 + y - 3}{3}$

Step 3

Simplify the numerator.

Move $3$ to the left of $y$ .

$\frac{3 \cdot y + y - 3}{3}$

Add $3 y$ and $y$ .

$\frac{4 y - 3}{3}$
