Given the numerical equation:

3y + 10 =2y

Determine the value of y.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of y, we must first transpose 2y and 10 to the opposite sides of the equation, Note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

3y + 10 = 2y

3y - 2y = -10

y = -10

Final answer:

y = -10
