| ( | 3 | y | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | ( | 1 | − | y | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | y | × | 1 5 | + | 2 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 3 5 | y | + | 2 5 |
3 5 | y | + | 2 5 | = | ( | 1 | − | y | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | × | 1 2 | − | y | × | 1 2 | − | 3 |
| = | 1 2 | − | y | × | 1 2 | − | 3 |
| = | - | 5 2 | − | 1 2 | y |
3 5 | y | + | 2 5 | = | - | 5 2 | − | 1 2 | y |
3 5 | y | + | 1 2 | y | = | - | 5 2 | − | 2 5 |
11 10 | y | = | - | 5 2 | − | 2 5 |
11 10 | y | = | - | 29 10 |
| y | = | - | 29 10 | ÷ | 11 10 |
| = | - | 29 10 | × | 10 11 |
| = | - | 29 | × | 1 11 |
| y | = | - | 29 11 |
| y | = | - 2.636364 |
