Question

Five minus two times y equals fourteen

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by isolating the variable on one side of the equation:

$5-2*y=14$

Simplify $-2*y$ to $-2y$:

$5-2y=14$

Subtract 5 from both sides:

$-2y=9$

Divide both sides by -2:

$y=-\frac{9}{2}$
