Answer: = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. subtract -8-6 which equals -14
2. Combine like terms which are -8y and 6y and you should get -2y
3. Add 14 on both sides eliminate the -14 on one side. it should be -2y = 18
4. Now you want to get y all on its own so you divide -2 on both sides -2y/2 = 18/-2
5. and you should be able to cancel out -2y and get y= -9
