First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right. -5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y Combine like terms on the right and left -4 -15y = 13y -32 Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other. Subtract 13y from both sides -4 -28y = -32 Add 4 to both sides -28y = -28 Divide both sides by -28 y = 1
