Answer:

The value of y is;


y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;


y+3y+5y=-18

Solving the equation, let us add the like terms;


\begin{gathered} y+3y+5y=-18 \\ 9y=-18 \end{gathered}

divide both sides by 9;


\begin{gathered} (9y)/(9)=(-18)/(9) \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of y is;


y=-2
