The key in a problem like this is to get you variable (y) on one side by itself. So as you see on one side you have 15 and on the other 5 times y. So to isolate Y, remebering that you allways have to do the same thing to both sides of the equation. You would take and devide both sides by 5. Which would make it 3=y.

*The goal is solving for the "y" variable in the equation.
First: isolate the "y" variable on one side by itself - divide both sides by 5 (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
15/5 = 5y/5
15/5 = y
3 = y, or y = 3

Devide each side of the equation by 5. Results y=3.

Ah, Lisa, if you can't solve this problem you need to be staying off the internet and spending time with your textbook, your teacher, and any friend who can show you the way.
by the way, y = 3.

y is 3
divide both sides by 5 to isolate y
y = 3

solution is very simple ;
15 = 5y
then,15/5 = y
ie., y = 3
