$22 y = - 88$ $22y = -88$ means $22 \times y = - 88$ $22 xx y = -88$

$y = - \frac{88}{22}$ $y = -88/22$ , or $y = - 4$ $y = -4$

$22 (- 4) = - 88$ $22(-4) = -88$

When there is a variable next to a number e.g. "22y" that means 22 is being multiplied by a number in order to get the answer. So

$22 (- 4) = - 88$ $22(-4) = -88$
