Hey there!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.


\fbox{2y−(8)(9)=(((−3)(9))(5))(y)+476}

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


\fbox{2y−(8)(9)=(((−3)(9))(5))(y)+476}


\fbox{2y+−72=−135y+476}


\fbox{2y−72=−135y+476}

Step 2: Add 135y to both sides.


\fbox{2y−72+135y=−135y+476+135y}


\fbox{137y−72=476}

Step 3: Add 72 to both sides.


\fbox{137y−72+72=476+72}


\fbox{137y=548}

Step 4: Divide both sides by 137.


\fbox{137y/137 = 548/137}


\fbox{y=4}

Answer:


\fbox{y=\fbox{4}}
