Answer:

y =6

Explanation:

3 ( y − 5 ) + 2 = 5

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y − 5.

3y− 15 + 2 = 5

Add −15 and 2 to get −13.

3y − 13 = 5

Add 13 to both sides.

3y = 5 + 13

Add 5 and 13 to get 18.

3y = 18

Divide both sides by 3.

y =
(18)/(3)

Divide 18 by 3 to get 6.

y = 6

Hope it helps. =)

Have a Great day!

Answer:

y=6

Explanation:

To solve for y, you start by multiplying 3 through the parenthesis.

This will give you 3y-15+2=5

collect like terms and isolate 3y on the left side of the equal sign, this will give you 3y=18

divide both sides by 3 and you will be left with y=6
