Answer: 2y - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem utilizes the Distributive Property of Multiplication.  It states that: a(x + y) = ax + ay.

Thus, utilizing this property (distributing -3), change the equation into:

5y - 3y - 6

Then, simply combine like terms to get:

2y - 6

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
