How to solve

-4y+2=-3 (2y+4)

On the right side of the equation - 3 (2y+4), you need to use the distributive property, so it becomes - 6y-12.

together it is - 4y+2=-6y-12

get the "y" value on the left, so add 6y to the left side

2y+2=-12

substract - 2

2y=-14

divide by 2

y=-7

To double check your answer, plug - 7 back into the equation and make side both sides are equal to each other
