Verified step by step guidance1
Start with the given equation: \(-\frac{126}{14} = 3y\).
Simplify the fraction on the left side by dividing 126 by 14, so the equation becomes \(-9 = 3y\).
To isolate \(y\), use the division property of equality by dividing both sides of the equation by 3: \(\frac{-9}{3} = \frac{3y}{3}\).
Simplify both sides: the right side simplifies to \(y\), and the left side simplifies to \(-3\).
Therefore, the solution to the equation is \(y = -3\).
