| ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ( | 3 | y | − | 1 | ) | = | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | y | − | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 3 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 3 5 | ( | 3 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 3 5 | × | 3 | y | − | 3 5 | × | 1 |
| = | 9 5 | y | − | 3 5 |
9 5 | y | − | 3 5 | = | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | y | − | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | y | − | 2 |
| = | 2 3 | y | − | 2 |
9 5 | y | − | 3 5 | = | 2 3 | y | − | 2 |
9 5 | y | − | 2 3 | y | = | - | 2 | + | 3 5 |
17 15 | y | = | - | 2 | + | 3 5 |
17 15 | y | = | - | 7 5 |
| y | = | - | 7 5 | ÷ | 17 15 |
| = | - | 7 5 | × | 15 17 |
| = | - | 7 | × | 3 17 |
| y | = | - | 21 17 |
| y | = | - 1.235294 |
