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!☺
