Question

-8 ( y + 4 ) = 10y + 4

Answer 1

-8y-32 = 10y+4      Subract 10y on both sides.
-8y-10-32 = 4       Add 32 on both sides.
-18y = 4+32
-18y = 36           Divide 18 on both sides.
-18/y = 36/-18
y = -2

Answer 2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.−8(y+4)=10y+4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.−8(y+4)=10y+4

Simplify: (−8)(y)+(−8)(4)=10y+4(Distribute)−8y+−32=10y+4−8y−32=10y+4

Step 2: Subtract 10y from both sides.−8y−32−10y=10y+4−10y−18y−32=4

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides.−18y−32+32=4+32−18y=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by -18.−18y−18=36−18y=−2

Answer:y=−2

Good luck mate :P
