To solve the equation, first distribute the constants on both sides of the equation:
5y - 15 = 2y + 24
Next, group like terms together:
5y - 2y = 24 + 15
3y = 39
Finally, solve for y by dividing both sides by 3:
y = 13
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 13.
This is not a false equation or an identity. It is a valid equation with a real solution.
