# 1



-4y=-22-2 Start with the given equation.


-4y=-24 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-24%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate y.


y=6 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is y=6




# 2



2%28y%2B3%29=-10 Start with the given equation.


2y%2B6=-10 Distribute.


2y=-10-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


2y=-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-16%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=-8 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is y=-8
