Question

Part 1
Solve the equation.
y minus 25 equals 6 y

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( y - 25 = 6y \), follow these steps:

1. Rearrange the equation to bring all terms involving \( y \) to one side:

   \[ y - 6y = 25 \]

2. Combine the terms on the left side:

   \[ -5y = 25 \]

3. Divide both sides by \(-5\) to solve for \( y \):

   \[ y = \frac{25}{-5} = -5 \]

So the solution is

\[ \boxed{-5} \]
