Step 1.1.1

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{2}{3}$ into the numerator.

$y = 6 (\frac{- 2}{3}) - 16$

Step 1.1.2

Factor $3$ out of $6$ .

$y = 3 (2) \frac{- 2}{3} - 16$

Step 1.1.3

Cancel the common factor.

$y = 3 \cdot 2 \frac{- 2}{3} - 16$

Step 1.1.4

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 2 \cdot - 2 - 16$

Step 1.2

Multiply $2$ by $- 2$ .

$y = - 4 - 16$

Step 2

Subtract $16$ from $- 4$ .

$y = - 20$
