You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 8(7-y)=-24
 
56-8y = -24
 
Now remember whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other.
 
56 - 8y -56 = -24 - 56 
56-56 -8y = -80 
0-8y = -80 
-8y = -80 
-8y/-8 = -80/-8 
-8/-8 * y = 10 
1* y = 01 
y=10
 
 
Substitute this value back into the original equation to make sure it is correct.
