Question

How do you solve for y?

Answer 1

Hi there!

In order to solve for y, we need to divide each side by -5/4.

30 ÷ -5/4
= 30 × -4/5
= -120/5
= -24

y = -24

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Lets solve your equation.

30 = -5/4y

step 1: Flip Equation

-5/4y =30

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 4/(-5)
(4/-5)*(-5/4y) = (4/-5)*30

y = - 24

Answer: y = - 24

there you go.
