Let's take it step-by-step......

 

[3y - 5] / 6 = [2y - 1]/ 3 + 2       multiply through by the common denominator of 6.....so we have

 

3y - 5   = 2[2y - 1]  + 12   simplify

 

3y - 5  =  4y - 2 + 12

 

3y - 5   = 4y  + 10         subtract 3y, 10 from both sides

 

-15 = y

solvey((3×y5)6=(2×y1)3+2)

y=15
