-4(y+6) = 63
Distributive Properties of Multiplication:
-4y+-24 = 63
rewrite:
-4y-24 = 63
-4y = 87
y = -21.75
-------------------------------------
Check: Plug the result into the original equation and see if we get an equality:
-4(y+6) = 63
-4(-21.75+6) = 63
-4(-15.75) = 63
63 = 63 - The answer is correct.
