4y%2B5-7=2y%2B6 Start with the given equation.


4y-2=2y%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


4y=2y%2B6%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


4y-2y=6%2B2 Subtract 2y from both sides.


2y=6%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


2y=8 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%288%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=4 Reduce.
