-4y_{3}-2=3-y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
3-y=-4y_{3}-2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-y=-4y_{3}-2-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-y=-4y_{3}-5
Subtract 3 from -2 to get -5.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-4y_{3}-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-4y_{3}-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=4y_{3}+5
Divide -4y_{3}-5 by -1.
-4y_{3}-2=3-y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
-4y_{3}=3-y+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-4y_{3}=5-y
Add 3 and 2 to get 5.
\frac{-4y_{3}}{-4}=\frac{5-y}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
y_{3}=\frac{5-y}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
y_{3}=\frac{y-5}{4}
Divide 5-y by -4.
