ANSWER:

No solution

Explanation:

We have the following equation:

$5\mleft(3y\: -\: 2\mright)\: -\: 1\: =\: 4y\: -\: 2\: +\: 11y$

We reduce the equation and we would be left with the following:

$\begin{gathered} 15y-10-1=15y-2 \\ 15y-11=15y-2 \\ -11=-2 \end{gathered}$

Which means that the equation cannot be solved since it has no solution
