Question

What is -24 =14y-5 help

Answer 1

-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
