Answer:

y = 8/3

Explanation:

1. distribute 3(3y + -1) = 9y - 3

2. distribute -3(2y) = -6y

so, the equation becomes 9y - 3 - 6y = 5

3. combine 9y and -6y = 3y

4. add 3 to both sides so the 3 on the left gets canceled out

the equation is now 3y = 8

5. divide 3 on both sides to isolate y

then, you get your answer! hope this helps!
