To solve this equation, we need to simplify the left-hand side first.
(-5/14) × 21/25 - y = 3 3/4
First, let's calculate (-5/14) × 21/25:
(-5/14) × 21/25 = -105/350 = -3/10
Now, the equation becomes:
-3/10 - y = 3 3/4
Next, let's convert 3 3/4 to an improper fraction:
3 3/4 = 15/4
So our equation now looks like:
-3/10 - y = 15/4
To solve for y, we can add 3/10 to both sides of the equation:
-3/10 - y + 3/10 = 15/4 + 3/10-y = 15/4 + 3/10-y = 75/10 + 3/10-y = 78/10y = -78/10y = -39/5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = -39/5.

-3/10 - y + 3/10 = 15/4 + 3/10
-y = 15/4 + 3/10
-y = 75/10 + 3/10
-y = 78/10
y = -78/10
y = -39/5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = -39/5.
