1) Simplify $$4\dfrac{3}{4}$$   to  $$\dfrac{19}{4}$$, and we have our equation  $$\dfrac{5}{8}y = \dfrac{19}{4}$$. By multiplying both sides by  $$\dfrac{8}{5}$$, we have $$y = \dfrac{38}{5}$$

Simplify $$-5\dfrac{3}{4}$$ to $$-\dfrac{23}{4}$$ and $$-3\dfrac{1}{2}$$ to $$-\dfrac{7}{2}$$, and we have our equation $$-\dfrac{23}{4} + x = -\dfrac{7}{2}$$.  By adding $$\dfrac{23}{4}$$ to both sides, we have $$x = \dfrac{9}{4}$$ or $$x = 2\dfrac{1}{4}$$. ($$-\dfrac{7}{2}$$ --> $$-\dfrac{14}{4}$$, $$\dfrac{-14 + 23}{4} = \dfrac{9}{4}$$)

Hope this helps,

2) 2/3 divided by 14 is basically$$\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{14}$$. If we multiply the numerator and denominator by $$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{14}}{\dfrac{1}{14}}$$, we have $$\dfrac{2}{3} \cdot \dfrac{1}{14} = \dfrac{1}{21}$$
