(y/5) - 8 = -12
Multiply all terms by 5
y = -40 = -60
y = -20
To solve the equation - y - 8 = -12, we need to isolate the variable "y" by performing inverse operations.
1. Start by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
- y - 8 + 8 = -12 + 8
This simplifies to -y = -4.
2. Next, multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to isolate the variable "y":
(-1)(-y) = (-1)(-4)
This simplifies to y = 4.
Therefore, the solution to the equation - y - 8 = -12 is y = 4.
