3\left(3-y\right)-2y=-16
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
9-3y-2y=-16
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3-y.
9-5y=-16
Combine -3y and -2y to get -5y.
-5y=-16-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-5y=-25
Subtract 9 from -16 to get -25.
y=\frac{-25}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=5
Divide -25 by -5 to get 5.
