Question 556320
{{{10-(-y-6)=3(y+4)-7(y+4)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{10+y+6=3y+12-7y-28}}} Distribute.



{{{y+16=3y+12-7y-28}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{y+16=-4y-16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=-4y-16-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{y+4y=-16-16}}} Add {{{4y}}} to both sides.



{{{5y=-16-16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5y=-32}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(-32)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



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


Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=-32/5}}}
