Okay so first you distribute to both sides(the arrows). then you subtract 5y to both sides and bring everything down. then you subtract 7 to both sides and get -27=9y and divide by 9 to get the y alone .
Check the picture below.
now, we're making an assumption that, the two blue shaded region are equal in shape, and thus if that's so, that area above the 14 is 6 and below it is also 6, 14 + 6 + 6 = 26.
so hmm if we simply get the area of the trapezoid and subtract the area of the yellow triangle and the area of the cyan triangle, what's leftover is what we didn't subtract, namely the shaded region.
