Adding Mixed Fractions and Absolute Values
I need help understanding the following 3 problems.
Please write this out for me. I don't know what this represents 3^.
Absolute value of 1/y + 3/8 (outside the two long lines to either) +1 = 7.
Do you get rid of the "1" before determining the negative/positive outcome?
Next one: x/3 +4 = 1/12 (do I put the 4 over 1?) to find LCD?
Is o=o considered a real number or unsolvable?
Best regards.

3^ means 3 raised to power.
^ is used to show power.
Question 1:
|1/y + 3/8| + 1 = 7
Subtract 1 from each side.
|1/y + 3/8| + 1 - 1 = 7 - 1
|1/y + 3/8| = 6
Now 1/y + 3/8 = 6 or 1/y + ...
