5y-15=2y-15
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by y-3.
5y-15-2y=-15
Subtract 2y from both sides.
3y-15=-15
Combine 5y and -2y to get 3y.
3y=-15+15
Add 15 to both sides.
3y=0
Add -15 and 15 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 3 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
