Solve for y.
12y+11=-32y
12y+11=-32y
12y + 32y = -11
44y = -11
y = -11/44
y = -0.25
12y+11= -32y
-12y -12y

thank.yah...
welcome! glad to help:)
To solve the equation 12y + 11 = -32y for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to find the value of y:
Step 1: Combine like terms on one side of the equation.
Add 32y to both sides of the equation to get rid of the negative sign:
12y + 32y + 11 = -32y + 32y
Simplifying the left side gives: 44y + 11 = 0
Step 2: Move the constant term to the other side.
Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:
44y + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11
Simplifying gives: 44y = -11
Step 3: Solve for y.
To isolate y, divide both sides of the equation by 44:
(44y) / 44 = (-11) / 44
Simplifying gives: y = -11 / 44
Finally, y = -11/44 simplifies to y = -1/4, which is the solution to the equation 12y + 11 = -32y.
