y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{3} = -4$

y = -4(3)

y = -12

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{y}{3}=-4}$

$\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 3 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{3\times\dfrac{1}{3}y=3\times(-4)}$

$\large\textsf{Cancel out: }\mathsf{3 \times \dfrac{1}{3}}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{3\times (-4)}\large\textsf{ because it gives you the y-value}$

$\large\textsf{New EQUATION: }\mathsf{y = -4 \times 3}$

$\mathsf{-4\times3=y}$

$\large\text{SIMPLIFY above }\uparrow\large\text{ \& you have your answer}$

$\mathsf{-4\times3=\bf -12}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf y = -12}}}\huge\checkmark$
