Answer:

Y=3

Explanation:

You first distribute the -2

-14+2y+4=-4

Then you add the 4 and -14

2y-10=-4

Then you move the Y to one side by adding 10 to both sides

2y=6

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for Y

y=6/2

Simplify

y=3

Answer:
Y=3

Process:
-2(7-y)+4=-4
Distribute -2 into the parentheses
-14+2y+4=-4
Combine like terms
2y=-4-4+14
2y=-8+14
2y=6
Divide both sides by 2 to cancel it out on the left side
2y/2=6/2
y=3

I hope this helps!
