Solve an equation for y when given an x and a y

The video tutorial explains how to solve for the variable Y in an equation. It begins by identifying terms that need to be subtracted to simplify the equation. The instructor then demonstrates subtracting 2X from both sides and explains the importance of maintaining balance in the equation. Next, the tutorial covers dividing by -5 to isolate Y, emphasizing the need to handle negative signs carefully. The final solution is presented as Y equals positive 2/5 X minus 6, with a brief explanation of the steps involved.

Explain the process of dividing by -5 in the context of the equation.
