Answer:

y=2 16/25

in other words, two and sixteen twenty-fifths

Explanation:

y/2-1/5=2-y/3

Move the variables to one side and constants to the other

y/2+y/3=2+1/5

Multiply y/2 by 3/3 and y/3 by 2/2 so that they have a common denominator

3y/6+2y/6=2 1/5

5y/6=11/5

Cross multiply

66=25y

y=66/25

y=2 16/25

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
