Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given The expression
8(-2y-4)+12=-52
Using the distributive property, we have
8x-2y 8x-4 +12 = -52
-16y -32 + 12 = -52
-16y - 20 = -52
Add 20 to both sides to separate the unknown
-16y -20+20 = -52 +20
-16y = -32
Now divide both sides by 16 to get y
-16y/-16 = -32/-16
-16 cancels out -16 on the left side
therefore y = 2
