Let's solve the equation step by step and fill in the missing terms and descriptions.

Starting from the original equation:

\[ \frac{y}{-16} - 13 = -13 \]

  1. Step 1: Add 13 to both sides. \[ \frac{y}{-16} - 13 + 13 = -13 + 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \]

  2. Step 2: Now we need to isolate \(y\). To do this, multiply both sides by \(-16\): \[ -16 \cdot \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \cdot -16 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 0 \]

So, the completed process is:

  • Fill in the missing term: \(y = 0\)
  • Select the missing description: "Multiply both sides by -16"

Thus, the final answer is:

  • \(y = 0\)
  • Multiply both sides by \(-16\)
the answer is:
y=0
add 13 to both sides

Thank you for your patience. Let's correct the step-by-step solution accordingly.

Given the original equation:

\[ \frac{y}{-16} - 13 = -13 \]

  1. Step 1: Add 13 to both sides. \[ \frac{y}{-16} - 13 + 13 = -13 + 13 \] Simplifies to: \[ \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \]

  2. Step 2: To isolate \(y\), multiply both sides by \(-16\): \[ -16 \cdot \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \cdot -16 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 0 \]

So, the completed statement is:

  • Final answer: \(y = 0\)
  • Description: "Add 13 to both sides"
