Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{y=8}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, isolate it on one side of the equation.

-3y+10=-14

First, you subtract by 10 from both sides.

→ -3y+10-10=-14-10

Solve.

Add or subtract the numbers from left to right.

→ -14-10=-24

⇒ -3y=-24

Then, divide by -3 from both sides.

⇒ -3y/-3=-24/-3

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

⇒ -24/-3=8

⇒ y=8

  • Hence, the final answer is y=8.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
