You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y1, ..., y5 are positive integers, so the problem is equivalent to finding # of non-negative integer solutions to

This is also equivalent to finding the # of solutions to , where z is a positive integer (see why?). This is also equivalent to the # of solutions in non-negative integers to , which is .

I don't tutor privately here, but there is a list of tutors on algebra.com and I am sure you can arrange with one via email.
