4%285y%2B3%29=3%282y-5%29 Start with the given equation.



20y%2B12=6y-15 Distribute.



20y=6y-15-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.



20y-6y=-15-12 Subtract 6y from both sides.



14y=-15-12 Combine like terms on the left side.



14y=-27 Combine like terms on the right side.



y=%28-27%29%2F%2814%29 Divide both sides by 14 to isolate y.

Answer:

So the solution is y=-27%2F14
