| 6 | ÷ | ( | 5 | y | − | 1 | ) | = | 7 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| 6 | = | 7 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 5 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| 6 | = | 7 | ÷ | 3 | × | 5 | y | − | 7 | ÷ | 3 | × | 1 |
| 6 | = | 35 3 | y | − | 7 3 |
| - | 35 3 | y | = | - | 7 3 | − | 6 |
| - | 35 3 | y | = | - | 25 3 |
25 3 | = | 35 3 | y |
35 3 | y | = | 25 3 |
| y | = | 25 3 | ÷ | 35 3 |
| = | 25 3 | × | 3 35 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 7 |
| y | = | 5 7 |
| y | = | 0.714286 |
