To solve this equation, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation.
The common denominator for 3 and 12 is 12, so we rewrite the equation:
(4y4)/(34) - (5y+4)/12 = -21/8
Now we can simplify the fractions:
(16y / 12) - (5y+4)/12 = -21/8(4y - 5y - 4) / 12 = -21/8(-y - 4) / 12 = -21/8
Now we cross multiply to get rid of the fractions:
8(-y - 4) = 12(-21)-8y - 32 = -252-8y = -220y = 27.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 27.5.

Now we can simplify the fractions:
(16y / 12) - (5y+4)/12 = -21/8
(4y - 5y - 4) / 12 = -21/8
(-y - 4) / 12 = -21/8
Now we cross multiply to get rid of the fractions:
8(-y - 4) = 12(-21)
-8y - 32 = -252
-8y = -220
y = 27.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 27.5.
