(2 - 32) y

Subtract the numbers

- 30 y

- 30 y - 3

Solution

- 3 (10 y + 1)

Show Solution

y = - \frac{1}{10}

Alternative Form

y = - 0.1

Evaluate

2 y - 32 y - 3

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

2 y - 32 y - 3 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

2 y - 32 y

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(2 - 32) y

Subtract the numbers

- 30 y

- 30 y - 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 30 y = 0 + 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 30 y = 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

30 y = - 3

Divide both sides

\frac{30 y}{30} = \frac{- 3}{30}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{- 3}{30}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 3}{30}

Cancel out the common factor 3

\frac{- 1}{10}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{1}{10}

y = - \frac{1}{10}

Alternative Form

y = - 0.1
