| - | ( | 1 | ÷ | 14 | × | y | ) | = | - | ( | 124 | ÷ | 21 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 1 | ÷ | 14 | × | y |
| = | - | 1 14 | y |
| - | 1 14 | y | = | - | ( | 124 | ÷ | 21 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 124 | ÷ | 21 |
| = | - | 124 21 |
| - | 1 14 | y | = | - | 124 21 |
124 21 | = | 1 14 | y |
1 14 | y | = | 124 21 |
| y | = | 124 21 | ÷ | 1 14 |
| = | 124 21 | × | 14 |
| = | 124 3 | × | 2 |
| y | = | 248 3 |
| y | = | 82.666667 |
