How to solve y - 5 = 3(3 - 2y)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y - 5 = 3 ( 3 - 2 y )$$

Solve for y

$y=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$y-5=9-6y$$

Add $6y$ to both sides.

$$y-5+6y=9$$

Combine $y$ and $6y$ to get $7y$.

$$7y-5=9$$

Add $5$ to both sides.

$$7y=9+5$$

Add $9$ and $5$ to get $14$.

$$7y=14$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$y=\frac{14}{7}$$

Divide $14$ by $7$ to get $2$.

$$y=2$$
