Evaluate
3y−10y
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3−10)y
Subtract the numbers
−7y
−7y+24+32
Add the numbers
−7y+56
−7y+56=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−7y=0−56
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−7y=−56
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
7y=56
Divide both sides
77y=756
Divide the numbers
y=756
