Solve (7y)/5 = y - 4

Evaluate

\frac{7 y}{5} = y - 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

\frac{7 y}{5} \times 5 = (y - 4) \times 5

Simplify the equation

7 y = (y - 4) \times 5

Simplify the equation

More Steps

7 y = 5 y - 20

Move the variable to the left side

7 y - 5 y = - 20

Subtract the terms

More Steps

2 y = - 20

Divide both sides

\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{- 20}{2}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{- 20}{2}
