Solve 15*(104+(7y)/12+19y=-31

$$\frac { 15 \cdot ( 104 + ( 7 y ) } { 12 } + 19 y = - 31$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{644}{111} = -5\frac{89}{111} \approx -5.801801802$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

$$15\left(104+7y\right)+228y=-372$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by 104+7y.

$$1560+105y+228y=-372$$

Combine 105y and 228y to get 333y.

$$1560+333y=-372$$

Subtract 1560 from both sides.

$$333y=-372-1560$$

Subtract 1560 from -372 to get -1932.

$$333y=-1932$$

Divide both sides by 333.

$$y=\frac{-1932}{333}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-1932}{333} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$y=-\frac{644}{111}$$
