y-\frac{\frac{10+2}{5}-\frac{1\times 10+3}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.
y-\frac{\frac{12}{5}-\frac{1\times 10+3}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Add 10 and 2 to get 12.
y-\frac{\frac{12}{5}-\frac{10+3}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Multiply 1 and 10 to get 10.
y-\frac{\frac{12}{5}-\frac{13}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Add 10 and 3 to get 13.
y-\frac{\frac{24}{10}-\frac{13}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. Convert \frac{12}{5} and \frac{13}{10} to fractions with denominator 10.
y-\frac{\frac{24-13}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Since \frac{24}{10} and \frac{13}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
y-\frac{\frac{11}{10}}{\frac{2\times 5+1}{5}}=5
Subtract 13 from 24 to get 11.
y-\frac{\frac{11}{10}}{\frac{10+1}{5}}=5
Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.
y-\frac{\frac{11}{10}}{\frac{11}{5}}=5
Add 10 and 1 to get 11.
y-\frac{11}{10}\times \frac{5}{11}=5
Divide \frac{11}{10} by \frac{11}{5} by multiplying \frac{11}{10} by the reciprocal of \frac{11}{5}.
y-\frac{11\times 5}{10\times 11}=5
Multiply \frac{11}{10} times \frac{5}{11} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
y-\frac{5}{10}=5
Cancel out 11 in both numerator and denominator.
y-\frac{1}{2}=5
Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
y=5+\frac{1}{2}
Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides.
y=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{1}{2}
Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.
y=\frac{10+1}{2}
Since \frac{10}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
y=\frac{11}{2}
Add 10 and 1 to get 11.
