First step is to isolate the variable. Anything that doesn’t have a ‘y’ is have to be moved which means the -4 will change to positive 4 and added to both sides. 64y -4 +2y = -2 (64y+2y) -4 = -2 +4 +4 Which crosses out the 4s on the left side and leaves 66y = 2. Divide 66 on both sides. 66y/66 = 2/66 (2/66) / 2 = 1/33
