$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } y - \frac { 3 } { 4 } = 2 y + \frac { 5 } { 8 }$$
$y = -\frac{33}{32} = -1\frac{1}{32} = -1.03125$
$$\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{3}{4}-2y=\frac{5}{8}$$
$$-\frac{4}{3}y-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}$$
$$-\frac{4}{3}y=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{4}$$
$$-\frac{4}{3}y=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{6}{8}$$
$$-\frac{4}{3}y=\frac{5+6}{8}$$
$$-\frac{4}{3}y=\frac{11}{8}$$
$$y=\frac{11}{8}\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)$$
$$y=\frac{11\left(-3\right)}{8\times 4}$$
$$y=\frac{-33}{32}$$
$$y=-\frac{33}{32}$$
