Answer:


\displaystyle \boxed{3x - 2y = -28}

Explanation:

y - 5 = 3⁄2(x + 6)

y - 5 = 3⁄2x + 9

+ 5 + 5

__________

y = 3⁄2x + 14

- 3⁄2x - 3⁄2x

________

−3⁄2x + y = 14 [We do not want mixed numbers\fractions in our standard equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

−2[−3⁄2x + y = 14]


\displaystyle 3x - 2y = -28

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
