-2\left(3y+8\right)+12y=-40
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
-6y-16+12y=-40
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3y+8.
6y-16=-40
Combine -6y and 12y to get 6y.
6y=-40+16
Add 16 to both sides.
6y=-24
Add -40 and 16 to get -24.
y=\frac{-24}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
y=-4
Divide -24 by 6 to get -4.
