| 2 | ( | 10 | − | 1 2 | y | ) | = | - | ( | 3 2 | y | + | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 10 | − | 2 | × | 1 2 | y |
| = | 20 | − | 1 | y |
| 20 | − | 1 | y | = | - | ( | 3 2 | y | + | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 3 2 | y | − | 2 |
| 20 | − | 1 | y | = | - | 3 2 | y | − | 2 |
| - | 1 | y | + | 3 2 | y | = | - | 2 | − | 20 |
1 2 | y | = | - | 2 | − | 20 |
1 2 | y | = | - | 22 |
| y | = | - | 22 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | - | 22 | × | 2 |
| y | = | - | 44 |
