2y-3(5y-8)=2(5+y)-10
2y-15y+24=10+2y-10
2y-15y-2y=10-10-24
-15y= -24
y= -24/-15=8/5=1 3/5

2y – 3 (5y – 8) = 2 (5 +y) – 10
2y – 15y + 24 = 10 + 2y – 10
24 – 13y = 2y
15 y = 24
y = 24/15 or 8/5

2y - 15y + 24 = 10 + 2y - 10
- 13 y + 24 = 2y
15y = 24
y = 24 / 15
y = 8 / 5

2y - 3(5y-8) = 2(5+y) - 10
2y - 15y + 24 = 10 + 2y - 10
24 = 2y - 2y + 15y
15y = 24
y = 24/15
y = 8/5 OR 1 3/5

2y-3(5y-8)=2(5+y)-10
2y-15y+24=10+2y-10
-13y+24=2y
24=2y+13y
24=15y
24/15=y
y=24/15 or 8/5 or 1 3/5

2y-3(5y-8)=2(5+y)-10

or 2y-15y+24=10+2y-10
or -15y=-24
or y=24/15=1.6

2y-3(5y-8)=2(5+y)-10
2y - 15y + 24 = 10 + 2y - 10
-15y = -24
15y = 24...

yah...
your right...
good job!

What you have done is correct ... now you must say:

15y = 24

15y = 24 (divide both sides by 15 to get the 'y' by itself

therefore:
y = 24 / 15
y = 1.6

Hope this helps :)

2y-3(5y-8)=2(5+y)-10?
2y-15y+24=10+2y-10
2y-2y-15y=10-10-24
-15y=-24
y=-24/-15=8/5, you're not confident with your answer

-13y+24=2y

move the "y" value over to the otherside of the equation.

24=2y+13y
24=15y
y=24/15

thus...

y=1.6
