%283y%2B2%29%2F4=+7 Start with the given equation.


3y%2B2=+28 Multiply both sides by 4.


3y=28-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


3y=26 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2826%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.

Answer:

So the answer is y=26%2F3


Which approximates to y=8.667
