125+y^{3}-20y-y^{3}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 5+y by 25-5y+y^{2} and combine like terms.
125-20y=0
Combine y^{3} and -y^{3} to get 0.
-20y=-125
Subtract 125 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-125}{-20}
Divide both sides by -20.
y=\frac{25}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-125}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5.
