I've read through many threads on this site about his topic but none have completely clarified the proper way to fix the problem I'm encountering. Trying to upgrade from a single sing to double sink vanity but my main drain isn't where the sink goes its over by the toilet. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Trying to figure out the best and most cost efficient way to go about this. I attached two pictures one of the existing drain and one of what I had planned to do.

In the U.S., use a double fixture fitting (not a double wye) to connect each 1-1/2" trap arm to a 2" drain line. The drain needs to be 2" if you are installing a second sink. The vent can be 1-1/2".

What I have done with 1.5" pipe.
Code is 2" when installing two lavs, but this is my Hack for that.

I've also done it this way if the distance is farther. The vents have to be at the level of the trap arm, not below, or they can siphon dry.
