Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1+y.
1+3y=y
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
1+3y-y=0
Subtract y from both sides.
1+2y=0
Combine 3y and -y to get 2y.
2y=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=-\frac{1}{2}
Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
