Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3(y+2)=5y-4[/tex] : given
[tex]3y+6=5y-4[/tex] : distributive property (multiply things in parentheses by the outer value of 3)
[tex]3y+10=5y[/tex] : add 4 to both sides to isolate the right side y value
[tex]10=2y[/tex] : subtract 3y from both sides to further isolate "y" and the constant
[tex]y=5[/tex] : divide by 2 on both sides to get value for a single "y"
