2/3y- 2/5 =5

add 2/5 on both sides:

2/3y = 5 + 2/5

Combine the fraction:

2/3y = 5 2/5

Write in improper Fraction:

2/3y = 27/5

Divide both sides by 2/3:

y = 27/5 รท 2/3

Change divide fraction to multiplication fraction:

y = 27/5 x 3/2

y = 81/10

Write in mixed number:

y = 8 1/10

Answer: y = 8 1/10
