y\times 15+2=11y
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
y\times 15+2-11y=0
Subtract 11y from both sides.
4y+2=0
Combine y\times 15 and -11y to get 4y.
4y=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=-\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
