8\left(y+2\right)-3\left(4y-1\right)=9\left(1-y\right)
Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.
8y+16-3\left(4y-1\right)=9\left(1-y\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by y+2.
8y+16-12y+3=9\left(1-y\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 4y-1.
-4y+16+3=9\left(1-y\right)
Combine 8y and -12y to get -4y.
-4y+19=9\left(1-y\right)
Add 16 and 3 to get 19.
-4y+19=9-9y
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 1-y.
-4y+19+9y=9
Add 9y to both sides.
5y+19=9
Combine -4y and 9y to get 5y.
5y=9-19
Subtract 19 from both sides.
5y=-10
Subtract 19 from 9 to get -10.
y=\frac{-10}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=-2
Divide -10 by 5 to get -2.
