You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think you may mean 2y+y-3=4(y-5)...no (y-3) needed
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out the parentheses:
\n" ); document.write( "2y+y-3=4y-20
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "3y-3=4y-20
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3y on each side:
\n" ); document.write( "-3=y-20
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Add 20 to each side:
\n" ); document.write( "17=y
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
