Answer
$y=\dfrac{19}{12}$
Work Step by Step
Adding $
\dfrac{3}{4}
$ to both sides of the given equation, $
y-\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{5}{6}
$, then,
\begin{array}{l}
y-\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{3}{4}
\\\\
y=\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{3}{4}
\\\\
y=\dfrac{10}{12}+\dfrac{9}{12}
\\\\
y=\dfrac{19}{12}
.\end{array}
