Question

$$4y+5=0$$

Solve for y

$y = -\frac{5}{4} = -1\frac{1}{4} = -1.25$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$4y=-5$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$y=\frac{-5}{4}$$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{4}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{5}{4}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{5}{4}$$
