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


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


36y-33=-25-2y-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


36y-33=-2y-37 Combine like terms on the right side.


36y=-2y-37%2B33 Add 33 to both sides.


36y%2B2y=-37%2B33 Add 2y to both sides.


38y=-37%2B33 Combine like terms on the left side.


38y=-4 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-4%29%2F%2838%29 Divide both sides by 38 to isolate y.


y=-2%2F19 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is y=-2%2F19
