On the left side, multiply the terms within the parentheses by -1. The 5s cancel each other out.
-4y = 3 + 2(4y-6)
On the right side, multiply the terms within the parentheses by 2.
-4y = 3 + 4y - 12
Subtract 4y from both sides and combine 3-12.
-8y = -9
You should be able to take it from here.
5-(4y+5)=3+2(4y-6)
how do i combine like terms and what do i do with these()?

Psydag is corret but he messed up a little when you multiply right side by 2 you would have gotten
-4y = 3 + 8y - 12 not -4y = 3 + 4y - 12
so you would have subtracted 8y instead of 4y from both side giving you
-12y= -9
and imma leave you to take it from here
-4y = 3 + 8y - 12 not -4y = 3 + 4y - 12
