Question 1073174

|5y-2| = |4y+7|

Can someone please solve this for me, step by step? I have no idea what I'm doing.
<pre><b>1) Drop absolute-value bars and solve like you do any regular equation.
   You should get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, y, "=", 9))}}}


2) Drop absolute-value bars on RIGHT side, and NEGATE LEFT-SIDE, or drop absolute-value bars on LEFT side, and NEGATE RIGHT-SIDE. 
   Solve to get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, y, "=", - 5/9))}}}</b></pre>
