-5y-2-\left(-4y-8\right)=6
To find the opposite of 5y+2, find the opposite of each term.
-5y-2-\left(-4y\right)-\left(-8\right)=6
To find the opposite of -4y-8, find the opposite of each term.
-5y-2+4y-\left(-8\right)=6
The opposite of -4y is 4y.
-5y-2+4y+8=6
The opposite of -8 is 8.
-y-2+8=6
Combine -5y and 4y to get -y.
-y+6=6
Add -2 and 8 to get 6.
-y=6-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-y=0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -1 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
