Answer:

y=-27

Explanation:

if y=-27 the equation will look like this:

-3-(-27)=24

to solve the LHS of the equation, we need to find what -3-(-27) is

we know that two negatives make a positive so that changes the equation to:

-3+27

we can rearrange the equation to the following:

27-3=24

Now fully simplify the equation:

24=24

The y value is correct
