Question

$$-5 \times +4y=15$$

Solve for y

$y=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply $-5$ and $4$ to get $-20$.

$$-20y=15$$

Divide both sides by $-20$.

$$y=\frac{15}{-20}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{15}{-20}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$y=-\frac{3}{4}$$
