3\left(-1+5y\right)=2\left(8+2y\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
-3+15y=2\left(8+2y\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by -1+5y.
-3+15y=16+4y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 8+2y.
-3+15y-4y=16
Subtract 4y from both sides.
-3+11y=16
Combine 15y and -4y to get 11y.
11y=16+3
Add 3 to both sides.
11y=19
Add 16 and 3 to get 19.
y=\frac{19}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
