Solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28y-2%29%2By%281%2B2%29+=+4\"$ Applying the distributive property to the left side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y-6%2By%2B2y+=+4\"$ Collecting like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6y-6+=+4\"$ Now add 6 to both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6y+=+10\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 6.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+10%2F6\"$ or $\"y+=+5%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+1.66\"$ Approximately. \n" ); document.write( "
