Question

-2y-4=8-y
can someone show me step by step because im messing up somewhere

Answer 1

@herobeautiful -2y -4 = 8 -y
simplify both sides of the equation
-2y -4 = -y + 8
add y to both of the sides
-2y - 4 + y = -y + 8 + y
-y -4 = 8
add 4 both sides
-y -4 + 4 = 8 + 4
-y = 12
divide both sides by -1
-y/-1 = 12/-1

answer -> y = -12
