Question

Solve the following equation: (y - 2) - (y + 1) = (y - 3) - 2

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

We can rewrite the equation without the brackets:
y - 2 - y - 1 = y - 3 - 2

Now let’s make both sides simpler:
-3 = y - 5

Let’s leave y on the right side and move 5 to the left:
-3 + 5 = y

So the result is:
y = 2
