Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 4) equal to 4.69041576 and -4.69041576.

Subproblem 1
y + 4 = 4.69041576

Simplifying
y + 4 = 4.69041576

Reorder the terms:
4 + y = 4.69041576

Solving
4 + y = 4.69041576

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + y = 4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + y = 4.69041576 + -4
y = 4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4.69041576 + -4 = 0.69041576
y = 0.69041576

Simplifying
y = 0.69041576

Subproblem 2
y + 4 = -4.69041576

Simplifying
y + 4 = -4.69041576

Reorder the terms:
4 + y = -4.69041576

Solving
4 + y = -4.69041576

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + y = -4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + y = -4.69041576 + -4
y = -4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: -4.69041576 + -4 = -8.69041576
y = -8.69041576

Simplifying
y = -8.69041576

Solution
