| 5 | y | + | 50 | ÷ | 3 | × | y | + | 50 | = | 5 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | y | + | 50 3 | y | + | 50 |
| = | 65 3 | y | + | 50 |
65 3 | y | + | 50 | = | 5 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 4 |
65 3 | y | + | 50 | = | 5 4 |
65 3 | y | = | 5 4 | − | 50 |
65 3 | y | = | - | 195 4 |
| y | = | - | 195 4 | ÷ | 65 3 |
| = | - | 195 4 | × | 3 65 |
| = | - | 3 4 | × | 3 |
| y | = | - | 9 4 |
| y | = | - 2.25 |
