| 4 | ( | 464 | − | 4 | y | ) | ÷ | 5 | + | 5 | y | = | 472 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | ( | 464 | − | 4 | y | ) | + | 5 | y |
4 5 | ( | 464 | − | 4 | y | ) | + | 5 | y | = | 472 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | × | 464 | − | 4 5 | × | 4 | y | + | 5 | y |
| = | 1856 5 | − | 16 5 | y | + | 5 | y |
| = | 1856 5 | + | 9 5 | y |
1856 5 | + | 9 5 | y | = | 472 |
9 5 | y | = | 472 | − | 1856 5 |
9 5 | y | = | 504 5 |
| y | = | 504 5 | ÷ | 9 5 |
| = | 504 5 | × | 5 9 |
| = | 56 | × | 1 |
| y | = | 56 |
