To solve the equation \( y = 3y + 2 \), follow these steps:
First, get all terms involving \( y \) on one side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting \( 3y \) from both sides:
\[ y - 3y = 2 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ -2y = 2 \]
Next, divide both sides by \(-2\) to isolate \( y \):
\[ y = \frac{2}{-2} \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ y = -1 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( y = 3y + 2 \) is \( y = -1 \).
