| Question 14298:  (1y)2+14=-2
 Answer by elizabeth2005(20)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you first start out by multiplying 1y by2 and it will leave you with 2y
 now you need to re-write your problem...
 2y+14=-2
 you now need to subtract 14 from both sides...
 that leaves you with 2y=-16
 now divide both sides by 2
 and it should leave you with negative 8
