The problems displayed in the image involve solving simple linear equations. Let's verify each solution.

### Problem 21:
Equation: \( -2(7 - y) + 4 = -4 \)

1. Expand and simplify:
   \[
   -14 + 2y + 4 = -4
   \]
   \[
   2y - 10 = -4
   \]

2. Solve for \( y \):
   \[
   2y = -4 + 10
   \]
   \[
   2y = 6
   \]
   \[
   y = \frac{6}{2} = 3
   \]

**Conclusion**: The solution \( y = -3 \) provided in the image is incorrect. The correct solution is \( y = 3 \).

### Problem 22:
Equation: \( 3(y - 1) + 8 = 11 \)

1. Expand and simplify:
   \[
   3y - 3 + 8 = 11
   \]
   \[
   3y + 5 = 11
   \]

2. Solve for \( y \):
   \[
   3y = 11 - 5
   \]
   \[
   3y = 6
   \]
   \[
   y = \frac{6}{3} = 2
   \]

**Conclusion**: The solution \( y = 2 \) provided in the image is correct.
