$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{3x = y - 5}\\\\\large\textsf{3(-4) = y - 5}\\\\\large\textsf{3(-4) = \boxed{\bf -12}}\\\\\large\textsf{-12 = y - 5}\\\\\large\textsf{TURN the EQUATION}\\\\\large\textsf{y - 5 = 12}\\\\\large\textsf{ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\large\textsf{y - 5 + 5 = -12 + 5}\\\\\large\textsf{CANCEL out: -5 + 5 because that gives you 0}\\\large\textsf{KEEP: -12 + 5 because that gives you the y-value}\\\\\large\textsf{y = -12 + 5}\\\\\large\textsf{-12 + 5 =\boxed{\bf -7}}$
