Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
[tex]x = \frac{ - 2}{9} [/tex]
[tex]y = 4\frac{1}{6} [/tex]
Now,
[tex]3x + y[/tex]
[tex] = 3( \frac{ - 2}{9} ) + 4 \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 2}{3} + \frac{25}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 4}{6} + \frac{25}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 4 + 25}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{21}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = 3 \frac{3}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = 3 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
