Step 1.1

Subtract

96

$96$ from both sides of the equation.

- y = 163 - 96

$- y = 163 - 96$

Step 1.2

Subtract

96

$96$ from

163

$163$ .

- y = 67

$- y = 67$

- y = 67

$- y = 67$

Step 2

Divide each term in

- y = 67

$- y = 67$ by

- 1

$- 1$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

- y = 67

$- y = 67$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{67}{- 1}

$\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{67}{- 1}$

Step 2.2

Simplify the left side.

Step 2.2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

\frac{y}{1} = \frac{67}{- 1}

$\frac{y}{1} = \frac{67}{- 1}$

Step 2.2.2

Divide

y

$y$ by

1

$1$ .

y = \frac{67}{- 1}

$y = \frac{67}{- 1}$

y = \frac{67}{- 1}

$y = \frac{67}{- 1}$

Step 2.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 2.3.1

Divide

67

$67$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

y = - 67

$y = - 67$

y = - 67

$y = - 67$

y = - 67

$y = - 67$
