y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:
12\text{ = 24 - y}

We would collect like terms by subtracting 24 from both sides:


12\text{ - 24= 24 - 24 - y}
\begin{gathered} -12\text{ = 0 - y} \\ -12=\text{ -y} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{divide both sides by -1:} \\ (-12)/(-1)=(-y)/(-1) \\ y\text{ = 12} \end{gathered}
