Answer:

y = -1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


7y+4=3-2y

First, we bring all terms containing y to the left-hand side of the equation.


7y+2y+4=3

Next, subtract 4 from both sides.


\begin{gathered} 9y+4-4=3-4 \\ 9y=-1 \end{gathered}

Finally, we divide both sides by 9.


\begin{gathered} (9y)/(9)=-(1)/(9) \\ y=-(1)/(9) \end{gathered}
