You have to get the y by itself.
-4y+11=27
You need to subtract the 11 from both sides.
-4y=16
Now divide both sides by -4.
y=-4

1. write the equation -4y+11=27
2. subtract the integers -4y =16
that are not "connected"
to the variable.
Basically, subtract 11.
3.isolate the variable. y= -4
basically, divide both
sides by -4.
