Answer: y = 44

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, I'm going to isolate y.


\bullet\quad\sf{2(y+7)=3(y-10)}

Use the distributive property on both sides:


\bullet\quad\sf{2y+14=3y-30}

Solve.


\bullet\quad\sf{3y-30=2y+14}


\bullet\quad\sf{3y-2y=14+30}

Simplify.


\bullet\quad\sf{y=44}

Therefore, y = 44.
