-9y-12%282-3y%29=-25-2%28y%2B6%29 Start with the given equation.


-9y-24%2B36y=-25-2y-12 Distribute.


27y-24=-25-2y-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


27y-24=-2y-37 Combine like terms on the right side.


27y=-2y-37%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


27y%2B2y=-37%2B24 Add 2y to both sides.


29y=-37%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side.


29y=-13 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-13%29%2F%2829%29 Divide both sides by 29 to isolate y.

Answer:

So the solution is y=-13%2F29
