5(y-1)=3y+3-2(-7y-5)

What are you trying to do? Solve for y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i'm getting confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distributive property! \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\) Then you can simplify stuff.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example \(5(y - 1)\) becomes \(5y - 5\) This will help in getting all the y's together and all the other stuff together on the other side.
