Answer:
y = 84
Explanation:
1) add 3 to both sides of your equation to cancel out the -3
end up with: (1/3)y + 14 = (1/2)y
2) multiply both sides of your equation by 2 to cancel out the (1/2)
end up with: (2/3)y + 28 = y
3) subtract (2/3)y from both sides of the equation to cancel out the positive (2/3)y
end up with: 28 = (1/3)y
4) multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to cancel out the (1/3)
end up with: 84 = y
