Hey there!☺

$Answer:\boxed{y=-40}$

Explanation:

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

In our first step, we will simplify both sides of the equation:

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

Now we will subtract 5 from both sides:

$(-1)/(4)y+5-5=15-5\\(-1)/(4)y=10$

Now in our last step, we will multiply both sides by 4/(-1):

$((4)/(-1))*((-1)/(4)y)=((4)/(-1))*(10)\\ y=-40$

y=-40 is your answer.

Hope this helps!☺
