| ( | 3 | y | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | ( | 4 | ) | − | 1 | = | ( | 5 | y | − | 7 | ) | ÷ | 6 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 4 | ) |
| ( | 3 | y | − | 2 | ) | − | 1 | ( | 4 | ) | = | ( | 5 | y | − | 7 | ) | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 1 | ( | 4 | ) | = | ( | 5 | y | − | 7 | ) | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 1 | ( | 4 | ) | = | 5 | y | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | ) | − | 7 | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 1 | ( | 4 | ) | = | 5 6 | y | ( | 4 | ) | − | 7 6 | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 1 | × | 4 | = | 5 6 | y | ( | 4 | ) | − | 7 6 | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 1 | × | 4 | = | 5 6 | y | × | 4 | − | 7 6 | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 2 | − | 4 | = | 10 3 | y | − | 7 6 | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 6 | = | 10 3 | y | − | 7 6 | ( | 4 | ) |
| 3 | y | − | 6 | = | 10 3 | y | − | 7 6 | × | 4 |
| 3 | y | − | 6 | = | 10 3 | y | − | 14 3 |
| 3 | y | − | 10 3 | y | = | - | 14 3 | + | 6 |
| - | 1 3 | y | = | - | 14 3 | + | 6 |
| - | 1 3 | y | = | 4 3 |
| - | 4 3 | = | 1 3 | y |
