Procedural Explanation of the Subtraction Property of Equality

As part of a standard operating procedure (SOP) manual for a retail analytics team, you are tasked with explaining the mathematical steps used to resolve a balance discrepancy represented by the equation y+37=13y + 37 = -13. Describe the process of using the Subtraction Property of Equality to isolate the variable yy. Your response should explicitly state the value that must be subtracted from both sides, show the calculation for the right side of the equation, and provide the final solution for yy.
