Solve -4y+4/5+y/4=23

$$\frac { - 4 y + 4 } { 5 } + \frac { y } { 4 } = 23$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{444}{11} = -40\frac{4}{11} \approx -40.363636364$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,4.

$$4\left(-4y+4\right)+5y=460$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by -4y+4.

$$-16y+16+5y=460$$

Combine -16y and 5y to get -11y.

$$-11y+16=460$$

Subtract 16 from both sides.

$$-11y=460-16$$

Subtract 16 from 460 to get 444.

$$-11y=444$$

Divide both sides by -11.

$$y=\frac{444}{-11}$$

Fraction \frac{444}{-11} can be rewritten as -\frac{444}{11} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{444}{11}$$
