$- 48 - (- 6) = \frac{y}{12}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{y}{12} = - 48 - (- 6)$ .

$\frac{y}{12} = - 48 - (- 6)$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$ .

$12 \frac{y}{12} = 12 (- 48 - (- 6))$

Step 3.1.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$12 \frac{y}{12} = 12 (- 48 - (- 6))$

Step 3.1.1.2

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 12 (- 48 - (- 6))$

$y = 12 (- 48 - (- 6))$

$y = 12 (- 48 - (- 6))$

Step 3.2.1.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 6$ .

$y = 12 (- 48 + 6)$

Step 3.2.1.2

Add $- 48$ and $6$ .

$y = 12 \cdot - 42$

Step 3.2.1.3

Multiply $12$ by $- 42$ .

$y = - 504$

$y = - 504$

$y = - 504$

$y = - 504$
