Solve for y 0-y=2

$0 - y = 2$

Step 1

Subtract $y$ from $0$ .

$- y = 2$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- y = 2$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- y = 2$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{2}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} = \frac{2}{- 1}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{2}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $2$ by $- 1$ .

$y = - 2$
