\[-2(7-y)+4=-4\]
1
Subtract 44 from both sides.
−2(7−y)=−4−4-2(7-y)=-4-4

2
Simplify  −4−4-4-4  to  −8-8.
−2(7−y)=−8-2(7-y)=-8

3
Divide both sides by −2-2.
7−y=−8−27-y=\frac{-8}{-2}

4
Two negatives make a positive.
7−y=827-y=\frac{8}{2}

5
Simplify  82\frac{8}{2}  to  44.
7−y=47-y=4

6
Subtract 77 from both sides.
−y=4−7-y=4-7

7
Simplify  4−74-7  to  −3-3.
−y=−3-y=-3

8
Multiply both sides by −1-1.
y=3y=3

Done
