Question 647790
Step 1: You're going to want to distribute the '-2' to everything in the parenthesis.

{{{5y-2(y-5)=19}}}

You'll get: {{{5y - 2y + 10 = 19}}}

Remember that a negative (-) and a positive (+) = a negative (-). A negative (-) and a negative (-) = a positive (+).

Step 2: Combine like terms

You'll get: {{{3y + 10 = 19}}}

Step 3: Subtract '10' on both sides to get '3y' by itself.

You'll get: {{{3y = 9}}}

Step 4: Divide '3' on both sides to get 'y' by itself.

You'll get: {{{y = 3}}}

The answer is: {{{y = 3}}}
