Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 3y + -2y = -1 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 3y + -2y = 1y
-5 + 1y = -1 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
-5 + 1y = -1 + 0
-5 + 1y = -1
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + 1y = -1 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 1y = -1 + 5
1y = -1 + 5
Combine like terms: -1 + 5 = 4
1y = 4
Divide each side by '1'.
y = 4
Simplifying
y = 4
