    y = - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve for a variable, take the following steps:

    Distribute by multiplying into each term in the parenthesis Combine like terms Move terms across the equal sign using inverse operations

    2 - 4 (y + 4) = 2y + 16 Distribute

    2 - 4y - 16 = 2y + 16 Combine 2-16

    -14 - 4y = 2y + 16 Add 4y to both sides

    -14 = 6y + 16 Subtract 16 to both sides

    -30 = 6y Divide by 6

    y = - 5
