2\left(0-7y\right)=3\left(4+2y\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,-2.
2\left(-7\right)y=3\left(4+2y\right)
Anything plus zero gives itself.
-14y=3\left(4+2y\right)
Multiply 2 and -7 to get -14.
-14y=12+6y
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4+2y.
-14y-6y=12
Subtract 6y from both sides.
-20y=12
Combine -14y and -6y to get -20y.
y=\frac{12}{-20}
Divide both sides by -20.
y=-\frac{3}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
