-24 = 14y - 5
First, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -24 + 5 = 14y
Second, simplify -24 + 5 to get -19. / Your problem should look like: -19 = 14y
Third, divide both sides by 14. / Your problem should look like: \(-\frac{19}{14}\)
Fourth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: y = \(- \frac{19}{14}\)
Answer as fraction: y = \(- \frac{19}{14}\)
Answer as decimal: y = -1.3571
