Solve for y -y/5+4=14

$- \frac{y}{5} + 4 = 14$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- \frac{y}{5} = 14 - 4$

Subtract $4$ from $14$ .

$- \frac{y}{5} = 10$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- 5$ .

$- 5 (- \frac{y}{5}) = - 5 \cdot 10$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $- 5 (- \frac{y}{5})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{y}{5}$ into the numerator.

$- 5 \frac{- y}{5} = - 5 \cdot 10$

Factor $5$ out of $- 5$ .

$5 (- 1) \frac{- y}{5} = - 5 \cdot 10$

Cancel the common factor.

$5 \cdot - 1 \frac{- y}{5} = - 5 \cdot 10$

Rewrite the expression.

$- - y = - 5 \cdot 10$

Multiply.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 y = - 5 \cdot 10$

Multiply $y$ by $1$ .

$y = - 5 \cdot 10$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $- 5$ by $10$ .

$y = - 50$
