y-5=3-9y-18
Use the distributive property to multiply -9 by y+2.
y-5=-15-9y
Subtract 18 from 3 to get -15.
y-5+9y=-15
Add 9y to both sides.
10y-5=-15
Combine y and 9y to get 10y.
10y=-15+5
Add 5 to both sides.
10y=-10
Add -15 and 5 to get -10.
y=\frac{-10}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
y=-1
Divide -10 by 10 to get -1.
