# y = -17 / 42 #

Explanation:

# -3/7 + y = -5/6 #

Keep the variable on left- hand- side and take the rest on right - hand - side of the equation. Apply rule of transposition.

# y = - 5/6 + 3/7#

Making the denominators same

# y =(- 5/6 ) # x # (7/7)+ 3/7# x # (6/6)#

#y = (- 35 + 18 ) /42 #

# y = -17 / 42 #
