−y5=−25 \frac{-y}{5}=-25 5−y=−25
We begin by multiplying the simple fraction by y:
−15×y=−25 \frac{-1}{5}\times y=-25 5−1×y=−25
We then reduce both terms by −15 -\frac{1}{5} −51
y=−25−15 y=\frac{-25}{-\frac{1}{5}} y=−51−25
Finally we multiply the fraction by negative 5:
y=−25×(−5)=125 y=-25\times(-5)=125 y=−25×(−5)=125
y=125 y=125 y=125
