Answer 2

Hi there! ~

To start off our equation we have (as listed in the question)

`(y)/(-4) + 5 = 15`

First we need to simplify, and to do so we are going to replace y with -1 as shown here;


`(-1)/(4) y + 5 = 15`

Now we subtract 5 from both sides.


`(-1)/(4) y + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5`

Now our next, and final step is to multiply both of our given sides by;
`(4)/(-1)`


`( (4)/(-1) ) * ( (-1)/(4)y ) = ( (4)/(-1) ) * (10)`

Leaving us with our final answer of y = -40.
Therefore, D.
