Question 1091750
.
<pre>
-2*(7-y) + 4 = -4   ====>

-2*7 + 2y + 4 = -4  ====>  subtract4 from both sides  ====>

-14 + 2y = -8   ====>  add 14 to both sides

2y = -8 + 14

2y = 6  ====>  y = {{{6/2}}} = 3.


<U>Answer</U>.  y = 3.


You may check this solution on your own by substituting the value y= 3 into the original equation.
