-3%285y-2%29%2B7y=-2%28y%2B5%29 Start with the given equation.


-15y%2B6%2B7y=-2y-10 Distribute.


-8y%2B6=-2y-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8y=-2y-10-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-8y%2B2y=-10-6 Add 2y to both sides.


-6y=-10-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6y=-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-16%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate y.


y=8%2F3 Reduce.
