Answer:

Y= 3

Explanation:

To do this u can subtract -4 on each side. Whatever u do to one side of the equal sign u have to do to the other.

+4 and -4 cancel each other out

-11 + -4 = -15

The next step is to divide -5y on each side.

-5y divide by negative -5y cancel each other out leaving the y isolated.

-15 divided by -5 gives u positive 3.

So the answer is y=3
