First you do distributive property which would give you 3y-15+2=5. Then combine like terms to get 3y-13=3 then you add 13 to both sides of the equal sign to cancel it on the left side and give you 3y=16 then lastly you divide both sides by 3 to get y by itself and leave you with Y= 5 1/3 or 5.333333
