$\"-2%283y%2B1%29=3%281-6y%29-9\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Expand both sides of the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-6y - 2 = 3 -18y - 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 18y to both sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-6y + 18y - 2 = 3 -18y + 18y -9
\n" ); document.write( "12y - 2 = 3 - 9
\n" ); document.write( "12y - 2 = -6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 to both sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12y - 2 + 2 = -6 + 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12y = -4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 12:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -4/12 = -1/3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
