1
Add 2 to both sides:
Divide both sides by -4 (this is negative, so we have to swap the inequality sign):
2
Expand the left hand side:
Add 8 and y to both sides:
Divide both sides by 3
3-4
Nothing different from 1 and 2, apply the same logic (expand sides, gather constant and non-constant terms together, solve for the variable) and you will solve them
