To solve the equation \( 74 = -47 - 11y \), follow these steps:
-
First, isolate the \( y \) term. Start by adding \( 47 \) to both sides of the equation:
\[ 74 + 47 = -11y \]
\[ 121 = -11y \]
-
Now, divide both sides by \(-11\) to solve for \( y \):
\[ y = \frac{121}{-11} \]
\[ y = -11 \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ y = -11 \]
