Question 788454
{{{-8y+8=12-7y}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-8y=12-7y-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-8y+7y=12-8}}} Add {{{7y}}} to both sides.



{{{-y=12-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{y=(4)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-4}}} Reduce.
