Can someone help with general and clear steps in solving the following two equations?
3 ( x - 5) = - 2 (x + 3) + 11
x = ?
6 (y - 2) - (y - 3) = 16
y =?
3 ( x - 5) = - 2 (x + 3) + 11
x = ?
6 (y - 2) - (y - 3) = 16
y =?

For equation 1:
3 ( x - 5) = - 2 (x + 3) + 11
Step 1:
Do the multiplication first on the both sides:
3x - 15 = -2x - 6 + 11
Step 2:
Move the items with "x" to the left side and move the items without "x" to the right side:
3x + 2x = 15 - 6 + 11
Step 3:
Add them up on the both sides:
5x = 20
Step 4:
Get the answer:
x = 20 / 5
x = 4
Same steps for the equation 2:
6 (y - 2) - (y - 3) = 16
6y - 12 - y + 3 = 16
6y - y = 16 + 12 - 3
5y = 25
y = 25 / 5
y = 5
Equations are solved.
