Y=-24 To solve this you need to get y by itself so you have to move 16 to the other side. To do this you are doing to do the opposite of what it says so since on that side it’s addition you are going to subtract. Subtract 16 from 16 which cancels it out, then subtract 16 from -8 to get -24. Now you have y=-24
If Jeremy walked 6/8 of the way to school and ran the rest we know that Jeremy ran 2/8 of the way. We can simplify this further to get to our simplest form.
