Answer: y = -11

Explanation:

First you add the 8 to 25

Then you have -3y = 33

You divide the 33 by -3

And you’re left with y = -11

(-8) - 3y= 25

-8-3y= 25

move -8 to the other side

sign changes from -8 to +8

-8+8-3y=25+8

-3y= 33

divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

and to get +y

-3y/-3= 33/-3

Answer:

y= -11
