18-5y=y+4 how do you do this

18 - 5y = y + 4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

18 - 5y = y + 4

Simplify: (show steps)

-5y + 18 = y + 4

Step 2: Subtract y from both sides

-5y + 18 - y = y + 4 - y

6y + 18 = 4

Step 3: subtract 18 from both sides

-6y + 18 - 18 = 4 - 18

-6y = - 14

Step 4: divide both sides by - 6

-6y/-6 = - 14/-6

y=7/3
