Explanation:

26 = (-8/5)y |multiply both sides by 5

130 = -8y |divide both sides by -8

y = -130/8 = -65/4 = -16.25 = -16 1/4

26=(-8)/(5) y

Step 1: Flip the equation:


(-8)/(5) y=26

Step 2: Multiply both sides by
(5)/(-8):


((5)/(-8) )*((-8)/(5) y)=((5)/(-8) )*(26)


\framebox{(4)/(4)}
\framebox{y=$(-65)/(4)$}

Hope this helps!
