Question 225850
{{{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+8y=9-8y+8y}}}


{{{3+6y=9}}}


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


{{{3+6y-3=9-3}}}

{{{6y=6}}}


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


{{{6y/6=6/6}}}


{{{y=1}}}


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


{{{3-2*1=9-8*1}}}


{{{3-2=9-8}}}


{{{1=1}}} which is a true statement


Step 5.  ANSWER:  Solution is {{{y=1}}}.



I hope the above steps were helpful.
