Question 542372
{{{ -88 = -8y }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ -8 }}}
{{{ (-88) / (-8) = (-8y) / (-8) }}}
Note that (-) / (-) = (+), so I can 
rewrite the equation as:
{{{ 88/8 = 8y/8 }}}
Perform the divisions on both sides
{{{ 11 = y }}} answer
-----------
Notice that if you put the answer back into
the original equation, it is true
{{{ -88 = -8*11 }}}
Note that (-)x(+) = (-), so
{{{ -88 = -88 }}}
OK
