To solve this problem, you need to get the variable (the letter "y") by itself on one side of the equation. To do that, you first add 11 to both sides of the equation: -2y - 11 + 11 = -12 + 11 -2y = -1 Then, divide both sides by -2 to get rid of the "-2" in front of the "y" on the left-hand side: (-2y) ÷ (-2) = -1 ÷ (-2) y = 1/2 So, the answer is y = 1/2
