3y%2B1%282y-5%29=13-2%28y%2B2%29 Start with the given equation.


3y%2B2y-5=13-2y-4 Distribute.


5y-5=13-2y-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


5y-5=-2y%2B9 Combine like terms on the right side.


5y=-2y%2B9%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


5y%2B2y=9%2B5 Add 2y to both sides.


7y=9%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


7y=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2814%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate y.


y=2 Reduce.
