Question

$$3(2y+3)=4y+3$$

Solve for y

$y=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $3$ by $2y+3$.

$$6y+9=4y+3$$

Subtract $4y$ from both sides.

$$6y+9-4y=3$$

Combine $6y$ and $-4y$ to get $2y$.

$$2y+9=3$$

Subtract $9$ from both sides.

$$2y=3-9$$

Subtract $9$ from $3$ to get $-6$.

$$2y=-6$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$y=\frac{-6}{2}$$

Divide $-6$ by $2$ to get $-3$.

$$y=-3$$
