| 2 | ( | 4 | − | 2 | y | ) | − | 3 | y | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 4 | − | 2 | × | 2 | y | − | 3 | y |
| = | 8 | − | 4 | y | − | 3 | y |
| = | 8 | − | 7 | y |
| 8 | − | 7 | y | = | 1 |
| - | 7 | y | = | 1 | − | 8 |
| - | 7 | y | = | - | 7 |
| 7 | = | 7 | y |
| 7 | y | = | 7 |
| y | = | 7 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 |
| y | = | 1 |
