Answer 2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 = 3y - 2

+2         +2           :Add two to both sides to cancel out the negative two

-6 = 3y

3      3                 :Divide both sides by 3 to cancel out the three in the three y                  to get y by itself

(-2 = y)

(y = -2)                 :Your answer should be -2
