Hello!

(4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11     is     1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11

1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11               Given
        4y + 8 - 7y + 12 = 11              Distribute the 1 and the -1
                    -3y + 20 = 11             Combine like terms
                            -3y = -9              Subtract 20 from both sides
                               y = 3                Divide both sides by -3

Answer:
y = 3
