Answer:

-12

Explanation:

Ok so I'm guessing that's a -4 but if its not, please correct me.

y= -5 is going to be plugged into 2y+2-4

This means that 2(-5)+2-4=?

2(-5) is the equivalent to 2 times -5, which is -10 (you solve multiplication first because order of operations)

Now, 2-4=-2

So using this, let's combine both equations!

-10+-2=?

?=-12

It's a lot of steps but they get easier the more you do them <3
