2y-5-5y=-12
Subtract 5y from both sides.
-3y-5=-12
Combine 2y and -5y to get -3y.
-3y=-12+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-3y=-7
Add -12 and 5 to get -7.
y=\frac{-7}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{7}{3}
Fraction \frac{-7}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{7}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
