Answer: 11/-12
Explanation:
To solve this problem, rearrange the equation and substitute the values to find y.
1. Rearrange the equation x+4y = -2
a. subtract 4y from each side
x = -4y -2
b. add 2 to both sides
x+2 = -4y
c. your equation is now x+2 = -4y
2. substitute your x value into the equation
a. x+2 = -4y
b. x= 5/3
c. 5/3+2 = -4y
3. simplify the problem
11/3 = -4y
11 = -12y
11/-12 = y
y is equal to 11/-12
