5%28y-2%29-2=2%28y%2B10%29-5 Start with the given equation.


5y-10-2=2y%2B20-5 Distribute.


5y-12=2y%2B20-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


5y-12=2y%2B15 Combine like terms on the right side.


5y=2y%2B15%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


5y-2y=15%2B12 Subtract 2y from both sides.


3y=15%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


3y=27 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2827%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=9 Reduce.
