If -3y=-36, then to solve for y, divide both sides by -1 like this:
-3y/-1 = -36/-1
which gives you:
3y=36
Next, divide both sides by 3 to isolate y:
3y/3 = 36/3
which leaves you with the solution for y:
y=12
Then just plug that back into the original forumula, 3y-8:
3(12)-8
Order of operations says to do multiplication first, so you get:
36-8
And the solution is:
28

If: -3y=-36?
then -3y * -1 = -36 * -1
3y = 36
Thus, the value of 3y - 8 is 36 - 8 = 28.
