Explanation:

Step1: Solve equation (1) $y + 10=4$

Subtract 10 from both sides: $y=4 - 10=-6$.

Step2: Solve equation (2) $n+(-6)=11$

Add 6 to both sides: $n = 11+6 = 17$.

Step3: Solve equation (3) $x - 15=-2$

Add 15 to both sides: $x=-2 + 15=13$.

Step4: Solve equation (4) $w-(-3)=18$

$w + 3=18$, subtract 3 from both sides: $w=18 - 3 = 15$.

Step5: Solve equation (5) $9a=36$

Divide both sides by 9: $a=\frac{36}{9}=4$.

Step6: Solve equation (6) $-7q=21$

Divide both sides by - 7: $q=\frac{21}{-7}=-3$.

Step7: Solve equation (7) $\frac{m}{5}=14$

Multiply both sides by 5: $m=14\times5 = 70$.

Step8: Solve equation (8) $\frac{-1}{3}d=12$

Multiply both sides by - 3: $d=12\times(-3)=-36$.

Step9: Solve equation (9) $-4 + u=-16$

Add 4 to both sides: $u=-16 + 4=-12$.

Step10: Solve equation (10) $-88=-8y$

Divide both sides by - 8: $y=\frac{-88}{-8}=11$.

Step11: Solve equation (11) $-36=\frac{x}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2: $x=-36\times2=-72$.

Step12: Solve equation (12) $20=v - 13$

Add 13 to both sides: $v=20 + 13=33$.

Step13: Solve equation (13) $15=x + 7$

Subtract 7 from both sides: $x=15 - 7 = 8$.

Step14: Solve equation (14) $-75=3e$

Divide both sides by 3: $e=\frac{-75}{3}=-25$.

Step15: Solve equation (15) $p-(-2)=-9$

$p + 2=-9$, subtract 2 from both sides: $p=-9 - 2=-11$.

Step16: Solve equation (16) $-4y=-28$

Divide both sides by - 4: $y=\frac{-28}{-4}=7$.

Step17: Solve equation (17) $\frac{-1}{6}t=-6$

Multiply both sides by - 6: $t=(-6)\times(-6)=36$.

Step18: Solve equation (18) $50=\frac{k}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10: $k=50\times10 = 500$.

Step19: Solve equation (19) $n + 11=-80$

Subtract 11 from both sides: $n=-80 - 11=-91$.

Step20: Solve equation (20) $-32=w - 12$

Add 12 to both sides: $w=-32+12=-20$.

Step21: Solve equation (21) $70=2a$

Divide both sides by 2: $a=\frac{70}{2}=35$.

Step22: Solve equation (22) $-24 + x=-3$

Add 24 to both sides: $x=-3 + 24=21$.

Step23: Solve equation (23) $\frac{c}{16}=-1$

Multiply both sides by 16: $c=-1\times16=-16$.

Step24: Solve equation (24) $-5y=0$

Divide both sides by - 5: $y = 0$.

Then match the solutions with the letters in the answer - key to find the punch - line of the joke.

For example, for equation (1) with solution $y=-6$, the corresponding letter is L.

After matching all the solutions and filling in the boxes, we can get the answer to the riddle "What did the butcher say to the tough piece of meat?"

However, since the problem only asks for the solutions of the equations:

1. $y=-6$
2. $n = 17$
3. $x=13$
4. $w=15$
5. $a = 4$
6. $q=-3$
7. $m = 70$
8. $d=-36$
9. $u=-12$
10. $y = 11$
11. $x=-72$
12. $v=33$
13. $x = 8$
14. $e=-25$
15. $p=-11$
16. $y = 7$
17. $t=36$
18. $k = 500$
19. $n=-91$
20. $w=-20$
