-3y+14=-5y
Since -5y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by adding 5y to both sides.
-3y+14+5y=0
Since -3y and 5y are like terms, subtract 5y from -3y to get 2y.
2y+14=0
Since 14 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 14 from both sides.
2y=-14
Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2y)/(2)=-(14)/(2)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
y=-(14)/(2)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=-7
