18-4y=-3%282-y%29 Start with the given equation.


18-4y=-6%2B3y Distribute.


-4y=-6%2B3y-18 Subtract 18 from both sides.


-4y-3y=-6-18 Subtract 3y from both sides.


-7y=-6-18 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7y=-24 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-24%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate y.


y=24%2F7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is y=24%2F7 which approximates to y=3.429.
