-3(y+3)=2y+3
Mutiply the bracket by -3
(-3)(y)= -3y
(-3)(3)= -9
-3y-9= 2y+3
Move -9 to the other side
Sign changes from -9 to +9
-3y-9+9= 2y+3+9
-3y= 2y+3+9
-3y= 2y+12
Move 2y to the other side
Sign changes from +2y to -2y
-3y-2y= 2y-2y+12
-3y-2y=12
-5y= 12
Divide both sides by -5
-5y/-5= 12/-5
Answer:
y= -12/5 or y=- 2 2/5
