-2(y-3)=-1(m-8)

Solution for -2(y-3)=-1(m-8) equation:

Simplifying
-2(y + -3) = -1(m + -8)

Reorder the terms:
-2(-3 + y) = -1(m + -8)
(-3 * -2 + y * -2) = -1(m + -8)
(6 + -2y) = -1(m + -8)

Reorder the terms:
6 + -2y = -1(-8 + m)
6 + -2y = (-8 * -1 + m * -1)
6 + -2y = (8 + -1m)

Solving
6 + -2y = 8 + -1m

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -2y = 8 + -6 + -1m

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -2y = 8 + -6 + -1m
-2y = 8 + -6 + -1m

Combine like terms: 8 + -6 = 2
-2y = 2 + -1m

Divide each side by '-2'.
y = -1 + 0.5m

Simplifying
y = -1 + 0.5m
