3-2y=9-8y

Step 1. Add 8y to both sides of the equation to get numbers on one side and variables on the right.

3-2y%2B8y=9-8y%2B8y

3%2B6y=9

Step 2. Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to isolate y-term.

3%2B6y-3=9-3
6y=6

Step 3. Divide by 6 to both sides of the equation

6y%2F6=6%2F6

y=1

Step 4. Check solution with original equation 3-2y=9-8y to see if it leads to a true statement.

3-2%2A1=9-8%2A1

3-2=9-8

1=1 which is a true statement

Step 5. ANSWER: Solution is y=1.
