Question 530287: I have a problem that i have to solve that brings me to this: 5(26/25)+5y=-11.
I know that the following step is : 5y= -275/25-130/25= -405/25

----------------
-11 = -275/25
-------------------
I would do it like this:
5(26/25)+5y=-11
26/5 + 5y = -11
Eliminate fractions
26 + 25y = -55
25y = -81
y = -81/25
