Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-3 = -11 - \frac{y}{11}\), we will first isolate the term that includes \(y\).

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
-3 = -11 - \frac{y}{11}
\]

2. Add 11 to both sides to isolate the term with \(y\):
\[
-3 + 11 = -\frac{y}{11}
\]
\[
8 = -\frac{y}{11}
\]

3. Now, multiply both sides by -11 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
8 \cdot (-11) = y
\]
\[
-88 = y
\]

So the solution is:
\[
y = -88
\]
