Answer:
y=-(14)/(5)

Solving Linear Equations:

  • Simplify each side if necessary
  • Isolate the variable: use properties such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to get the variable on one side and the rest terms to the other side of an equation.

Solution with Steps:


14 =-5y


(14)/(-5)=(-5y)/(-5) - divide both sides by -5 to isolate for the variable


-(14)/(5)=y - simplify to get your final answer
