Step 2.1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$4 - 4 y = 5 \cdot 1 + 5 (2 y) + 9$

Step 2.1.2

Multiply $5$ by $1$ .

$4 - 4 y = 5 + 5 (2 y) + 9$

Step 2.1.3

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$4 - 4 y = 5 + 10 y + 9$

$4 - 4 y = 5 + 10 y + 9$

Step 2.2

Add $5$ and $9$ .

$4 - 4 y = 10 y + 14$

$4 - 4 y = 10 y + 14$

Step 3

Move all terms containing $y$ to the left side of the equation.

Step 3.1

Subtract $10 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$4 - 4 y - 10 y = 14$

Step 3.2

Subtract $10 y$ from $- 4 y$ .

$4 - 14 y = 14$

$4 - 14 y = 14$

Step 4

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 4.1

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 14 y = 14 - 4$

Step 4.2

Subtract $4$ from $14$ .

$- 14 y = 10$

$- 14 y = 10$

Step 5

Divide each term in $- 14 y = 10$ by $- 14$ and simplify.

Step 5.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 14 y}{- 14} = \frac{10}{- 14}$

Step 5.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{10}{- 14}$

$y = \frac{10}{- 14}$

$y = \frac{10}{- 14}$

Step 5.3.1.2.1

Factor $2$ out of $- 14$ .

$y = \frac{2 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot - 7}$

Step 5.3.1.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{2 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot - 7}$

Step 5.3.1.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$y = \frac{5}{- 7}$

$y = \frac{5}{- 7}$

$y = \frac{5}{- 7}$

Step 5.3.2

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{5}{7}$

$y = - \frac{5}{7}$

$y = - \frac{5}{7}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$y = - \frac{5}{7}$

Decimal Form:
