| ( | 25 | − | y | ) | ÷ | y | = | 1579 5000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | y |
| ( | 25 | − | y | ) | = | 1579 5000 | y |
| 25 | − | y | = | 1579 5000 | y |
| - | y | − | 1579 5000 | y | = | - | 25 |
| - | 6579 5000 | y | = | - | 25 |
| 25 | = | 6579 5000 | y |
6579 5000 | y | = | 25 |
| y | = | 25 | ÷ | 6579 5000 |
| = | 25 | × | 5000 6579 |
| y | = | 125000 6579 |
| y | = | 18.999848 |
