| 3 | − | ( | - | 2 | ) | y | ÷ | 3 | = | ( | - | 2 | ) | − | 3 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | + | 2 | y | × | 1 3 |
| = | 3 | + | 2 3 | y |
| 3 | + | 2 3 | y | = | ( | - | 2 | ) | − | 3 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | - | 2 | ) | − | 3 2 |
| 3 | + | 2 3 | y | = | ( | - | 2 | ) | − | 3 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 2 | − | 3 2 |
| = | - | 7 2 |
| 3 | + | 2 3 | y | = | - | 7 2 |
2 3 | y | = | - | 7 2 | − | 3 |
2 3 | y | = | - | 13 2 |
| y | = | - | 13 2 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | - | 13 2 | × | 3 2 |
| y | = | - | 39 4 |
| y | = | - 9.75 |
