-44

Explanation:

Re-arrange it so that you have y on one side, and the value of y on the other. SO, start by subtracting 8 from both sides, giving:

#3/11y = -12#

Now, simply multiply both sides by #11/3#, giving:

#3/11 * 11/3 * y = -12 * 11/3#

...your #3/11# and #11/3# terms on the left cancel out, so just multiply everything out on the right side, and you have:

#y = -44#

GOOD LUCK
