You want to isolate the variable 'y'.


\sf -3y+10=-14

Subtract 10 to both sides:

Divide -3 to both sides:


\sf y=\boxed{\sf 8}

To solve
-3y+10=-14, isolate variable y

In order to isolate y, move everything from the left side of the equation to the right side of the equal sign. This can be done by performing the opposite math operation than the one listed. The variable will not be transferred over to the other side.


-3y+10=-14

Subtract 10 from the left and right side


-3y=-24

Divide -3 from both sides in order to isolate y


y=8
