| 2 | ( | 5 | y | − | 7 | ) | + | 6 | = | 3 | ( | 2 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 5 | y | − | 2 | × | 7 | + | 6 |
| = | 10 | y | − | 14 | + | 6 |
| = | 10 | y | − | 8 |
| 10 | y | − | 8 | = | 3 | ( | 2 | y | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | y | − | 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 6 | y | − | 3 |
| 10 | y | − | 8 | = | 6 | y | − | 3 |
| 10 | y | − | 6 | y | = | - | 3 | + | 8 |
| 4 | y | = | - | 3 | + | 8 |
| 4 | y | = | 5 |
| y | = | 5 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 4 |
| y | = | 5 4 |
| y | = | 1.25 |
