First way: —> subtract 2y and 22 from both sides to get 6y= -34 —> divide both sides to get 3y= -17 —> divide both sides by 3 to get y= -(17/3)
Second way: —> add 12 to both sides and -8y from both sides to get -6y= 34 —> divide both sides by 2 to get -3y= 17 —> divide both sides by -3 to get y= -(17/3)
There are at least 2 other ways to solve this. This is just two ways. The solution will ALWAYS be the same if you have done it correctly. Y will always = to -(17/3)
