3y-12=-2y-12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y-4.
3y-12+2y=-12
Add 2y to both sides.
5y-12=-12
Combine 3y and 2y to get 5y.
5y=-12+12
Add 12 to both sides.
5y=0
Add -12 and 12 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 5 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
