You can't see where the terms are separated. Is it 3-3.5 + y + 5=-2.3 + 15? Please check.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see now. You wrote the mixed numbers as decimals so I was confused.
3 3/5+ y + 5 2/3 = 15.
The first thing you need to do is convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. Do you know how to do that?

18/5 + y + 17/3 = 15.
You need to add 18/5 and 17/3, but the denominators need to be the same. Multiply the numerator and denominator of 18/5 by 3 and the numerator and denominator of 17/3 by 5.
54/15 + 85/15 + y = 15.
139/15 + y = 15
Subtract 139/15 from both sides.
y = 86/15 or 5 11/15.
The answer is B.
