2\left(-5-3y\right)=11-y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
-10-6y=11-y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -5-3y.
-10-6y+y=11
Add y to both sides.
-10-5y=11
Combine -6y and y to get -5y.
-5y=11+10
Add 10 to both sides.
-5y=21
Add 11 and 10 to get 21.
y=\frac{21}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=-\frac{21}{5}
Fraction \frac{21}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{21}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
