    -5.90 = y

    Step-by-step explanation:

    12 (5 + 2y) = 4y - (5 - 9y)

    1. Distribute

    60 + 24y = 4y - 5 + 9y

    2. Add like terms

    60 + 24y = - 5 + 13y

    3. Add 5 on both sides

    60 + 24y + 5 = - 5 + 13y + 5

    65 + 24y = 13y

    4. Subtract 24y on both sides

    65 + 24y - 24y = 13y - 24y

    65 = - 11y

    5. Divide - 11 on both sides

    65/-11 = - 11y/-11

    -5.90 = y
