The solution

You have entered [src]
-3*y - 7 = 8 - 2*(8 - y)
$$- 3 y - 7 = 8 - 2 \left(8 - y\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-(3*y+7) = 8-2*(8-y)

Expand brackets in the left part
-3*y-7 = 8-2*(8-y)

Expand brackets in the right part
-3*y-7 = 8-2*8+2*y

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
-7 - 3*y = -8 + 2*y

Move free summands (without y)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 3 y = 2 y - 1$$
Move the summands with the unknown y
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-5\right) y = -1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
y = -1 / (-5)

We get the answer: y = 1/5
