Q.4 (every step) Solve: 3y-5=3-2y

Step 1. Given

3y-5=3-2y

Step 2. The goal is to get the variables terms on one side and the numbers on the opposite side. So let's start with adding 5 to both sides of equation.

3y-5%2B5=3-2y%2B5

3y=3-2y%2B5

3y=8-2y

Step 3. Now add 2y to both sides of equation to get rid of the y-terms on the right and isolate the y on the left side.

3y%2B2y=8-2y%2B2y


5y=8


Step 4. Now, divide by 5 in both sides of equation

5y%2F5=8%2F5

y=8%2F5

Step 5. Answer is y=8/5


Hope the steps were helpful. Good luck in your studies.
