3-9y-\left(2y+5\right)=20
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1-3y.
3-9y-2y-5=20
To find the opposite of 2y+5, find the opposite of each term.
3-11y-5=20
Combine -9y and -2y to get -11y.
-2-11y=20
Subtract 5 from 3 to get -2.
-11y=20+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-11y=22
Add 20 and 2 to get 22.
y=\frac{22}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
y=-2
Divide 22 by -11 to get -2.
