Isolate y term: First, we want to isolate the term containing y on one side of the equation.−46−(4y)=−35Add 46 to both sides to move the constant term to the right side.−46+46−(4y)=−35+46
Simplify equation: Now, simplify both sides of the equation.0−4y=11−4y=11
Get rid of fraction: To solve for y, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 4.4×(−(4y))=11×4
Perform multiplication: Simplify the equation by performing the multiplication. −1×y=44y=−44
