Solved by pluggable solver: Linear Equation Solver

$\"-2%283y-7%29=56\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-6y%2B14=56\"$ Distribute.

$\"-6y=56-14\"$ Subtract $\"14\"$ from both sides.

$\"-6y=42\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"y=%2842%29%2F%28-6%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-6\"$ to isolate $\"y\"$ .

$\"y=-7\"$ Reduce.
