Sure, let's solve the equation step-by-step.
We are given the equation:
[tex]\[ y + 39 = -83 \][/tex]
To isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex], we need to move the term [tex]\( 39 \)[/tex] to the other side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 39 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ y + 39 - 39 = -83 - 39 \][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ y = -83 - 39 \][/tex]
Thus, upon simplifying the right side, we find:
[tex]\[ y = -122 \][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] is [tex]\( -122 \)[/tex].
