You have the following equation:
![3+(y)/(2)=-212](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/gy19lhiagsbzqryjcnxa23x3a0i44mep2v.png)
In order to solve the previous equation for y, proceed as follow:
3 + y/2 = -212 subtract 3 both sides
y/2 = -212 - 3 simplify right side
y/2 = -215 multiply by 2 both sides to cancel the denominator left side
y = -215(2)
y = -430
Hence, the solution for y in the given equation is y = -430
