| ( | y | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | y | + | 5 | = | ( | y | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | y | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | y | × | 1 3 | + | 3 | × | 1 3 | − | y | + | 5 |
| = | y | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | − | y | + | 5 |
| = | - | 2 3 | y | + | 6 |
| - | 2 3 | y | + | 6 | = | ( | y | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | y | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | y | × | 1 3 | + | 3 | × | 1 3 | − | ( | y | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | y | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | − | ( | y | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | y | + | 1 | − | y | × | 1 2 | + | 2 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | y | + | 1 | − | y | × | 1 2 | + | 1 |
| = | - | 1 6 | y | + | 2 |
| - | 2 3 | y | + | 6 | = | - | 1 6 | y | + | 2 |
| - | 2 3 | y | + | 1 6 | y | = | 2 | − | 6 |
| - | 1 2 | y | = | 2 | − | 6 |
| - | 1 2 | y | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 1 2 | y |
1 2 | y | = | 4 |
| y | = | 4 | ÷ | 1 2 |
