60000-2y=\left(30000-y\right)\times 100
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
60000-2y=3000000-100y
Use the distributive property to multiply 30000-y by 100.
60000-2y+100y=3000000
Add 100y to both sides.
60000+98y=3000000
Combine -2y and 100y to get 98y.
98y=3000000-60000
Subtract 60000 from both sides.
98y=2940000
Subtract 60000 from 3000000 to get 2940000.
y=\frac{2940000}{98}
Divide both sides by 98.
y=30000
Divide 2940000 by 98 to get 30000.
