\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(y)/(3)=-4}


\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{3*(1)/(3)y=3*(-4)}


\large\textsf{Cancel out: }\mathsf{3 * (1)/(3)}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}


\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{3* (-4)}\large\textsf{ because it gives you the y-value}


\large\textsf{New EQUATION: }\mathsf{y = -4 * 3}


\mathsf{-4*3=y}


\large\text{SIMPLIFY above }\uparrow\large\text{ \& you have your answer}


\mathsf{-4*3=\bf -12}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf y = -12}}}\huge\checkmark
