Me find the value of y. show the steps you followed.3(y - 0.5) = 2 (y + 1) + 4.5

3 (y - 0.5) = 2 (y + 1) + 4.5   Distribute the 3 into (y + 0.5)

3y - 1.5 = 2 (y + 1) + 4.5   Distribute the 2 into (y + 1)

3y - 1.5 = 2y + 2 + 4.5   Combine like terms (2 and 4.5)

3y - 1.5 = 2y + 6.5   Add 1.5 to both sides

3y = 2y + 8   Subtract 2y from both sides

y = 8

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
