Solve an equation 2y - 3 = -5. 

Step 1.  Add 3 to both sides.  You will get an equivalent equation

         2y = -5 + 3,   or  2y = -2.


Step 2.  In the last equation, divide both sides by 2.  You will get an equivalent equation

         y = ,   or  y = -1.


It is your solution:  y = -1.


Answer.  y = -1.

Solved.
