You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Step 1: distribute to get rid of the parenthesis
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%286%2B5y%29=2%28-5%2B4y%29\"$ becomes $\"%283%2A6%29%2B%283%2A5y%29=%282%2A-5%29%2B%282%2A4y%29\"$ which becomes $\"18%2B15y=-10%2B8y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: use inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side.
\n" ); document.write( "-subtract 18 from each side so $\"18%2B15y=-10%2B8y\"$ becomes $\"-18%2B18%2B15y=-10%2B8y-18\"$ which becomes $\"15y=-28%2B8y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-subtract 8y from each side so $\"15y-8y=-28%2B8y-8y\"$ becomes $\"7y=-28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-divide both sides by 7 so $\"7y%2F7=-28%2F7\"$ becomes your solution $\"y=-4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
