The solution to the equation 82 = 4 - 6y is y = -13.
Isolate the y term.
To isolate the y term, we need to get all of the other terms in the equation on the right side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation. This gives us the equation:
82 - 4 = 4 - 6y - 4
78 = -6y
Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -6.
To solve for y, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -6. This gives us the equation:
78 / -6 = -6y / -6
-13 = y
