Question 269230


{{{-2(3y+1)=3(1-6y)-9}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6y-2=3-18y-9}}} Distribute.



{{{-6y-2=-18y-6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-6y=-18y-6+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{-6y+18y=-6+2}}} Add {{{18y}}} to both sides.



{{{12y=-6+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12y=-4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(-4)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-1/3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=-1/3}}} which approximates to {{{y=-0.333}}}.
