Answer:

$y=-17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3y+20=3+2y$

Start by subtracting 20 from each side...

$3y+20-20=3+2y-20\\3y=2y-17$

Now, subtract "2y" from each side...

$3y-2y=2y-2y-17\\y=-17$

Next, let's substitute -17 for y in the original equation to check our answer...

$3(-17)+20=3+2(-17)\\-51+20=3+(-34)\\-31=3-34\\-31=-31\rightarrow Correct!$

Therefore the answer is:

$y=-17$

3 0

3y + 20 = 3 + 2y

1y + 20 = 3

y = -17
