Question 644871
{{{7y-2(8y+1)=4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7y-16y-2=4}}} Distribute.



{{{-9y-2=4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-9y=4+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{-9y=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(6)/(-9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-9}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-2/3}}} Reduce.
