Let's simplify the expression step by step:
-(3/19y) - 1/2(y + 2/19)
First, distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
= -3/19y - 1/2 y - 1/2 2/19
= -3/19y - 1/2y - 1/38
Next, find a common denominator for the fractions:
= -6/38y - 19/38y - 1/38
Now, combine like terms:
= (-6 - 19)y / 38 - 1/38
= -25y/38 - 1/38
Therefore, the simplified expression is -25y/38 - 1/38.
