It looks like you're trying to solve for \( y \) in an equation, but the equation seems incomplete. Assuming you meant:
\( -11 = -22 + \frac{5}{y} \)
To solve for \( y \), you can isolate \( y \) by following these steps:
1. Add 22 to both sides of the equation:
\( -11 + 22 = -22 + 22 + \frac{5}{y} \)
\( 11 = \frac{5}{y} \)
2. Now, to get \( y \) by itself, you need to eliminate the fraction. You can do this by multiplying both sides by \( y \) and then dividing by 11:
\( 11y = 5 \)
3. Divide both sides by 11 to solve for \( y \):
\( y = \frac{5}{11} \)
So, \( y = \frac{5}{11} \).
