Answer 1

• x - 6 = -4
• 5y = -5

Explanation:

For the first one, find the value of x:

`3x-8=-2\\3x=8-2=6\\x=2`

Then, use the value of x to find the answer:

`x-6=2-6=-4`

For the second one, find the value of y:

`-2(3y+5)=-4\\-6y-10=-4\\-6y=10-4=6\\y=-1`

Then, use the value of y to find the answer:

`5y=5(-1)=-5`
