y = +-3y=±3

Explanation:

3color(blue)(y^2) =27" "larr3y2=27 to isolate the y^2, div 3y2,÷3 on both sides

(3color(blue)(y^2))/3 =27/33y23=273

y^2= 9y2=9

y = +-sqrt9y=±9

y = +-3y=±3

y = 3 or y = -3

Explanation:

3y^2 = 273y2=27 (divide both sides by 3)
y^2 = 9y2=9 (take the square root of both sides)
y = +-sqrt(9)y=±9
y = +-3y=±3
