Question 381357
{{{3y-y+2y-5=7-2y+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4y-5=7-2y+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4y-5=-2y+12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{4y=-2y+12+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{4y+2y=12+5}}} Add {{{2y}}} to both sides.



{{{6y=12+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6y=17}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(17)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=17/6}}}
