Algebra Question! What is y equals x plus 15 if -4x?

The question is incomplete. It should specify what -4x *is* or *does*. For example:

* If -4x = 20: Then x = -5. Substituting this into y = x + 15 gives y = -5 + 15 = 10.

* If -4x is the result of an operation (e.g., -4x = y): Then y = x + 15 and y = -4x. We can solve this system of equations:

Substitute the first equation into the second: x + 15 = -4x

Add 4x to both sides: 5x + 15 = 0

Subtract 15 from both sides: 5x = -15

Divide by 5: x = -3

Substitute x = -3 into y = x + 15: y = -3 + 15 = 12

* If something else is happening with -4x: Please provide the complete question.
