#y=-192#

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction from the equation multiply #color(blue)"all"# terms on both sides by 12.

#cancel(12)^1xxy/cancel(12)^1+(12xx4)=(12xx-12)#

#rArry+48=-144larr" no fractions"#

subtract 48 from both sides.

#ycancel(+48)cancel(-48)=-144-48#

#rArry=-192" is the solution"#
