Isolate y term: Isolate the term containing y.To do this, we need to subtract 16 from both sides of the equation to get the term with y by itself on one side.62−16=(32)y+16−16$\(46\) = \left(\frac{\(2\)}{\(3\)}\right)y
Solve for y: Solve for y.\(\newline\)Now we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \((\frac{2}{3})\), which is \((\frac{3}{2})\), to solve for y.\(\newline\)\((\frac{3}{2}) \times 46 = y \times (\frac{2}{3}) \times (\frac{3}{2})\)\(\newline\)\(69 = y\)
