Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 5 = 16
add 5 to both sides of the equation
-3x = 21
divide both sides by -3
x = -7
---------------------
-4(y - 2) = 12
distribute the -4 to everything in the parentheses
-4y + 8 = 12
subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
-4y = 4
divide both sides of the equation by -4
y = -1
