#y=-6#

Explanation:

Simplify by distributing:

#-5y+30+10y=0#

#-5y+10y=-30#

#=>5y=-30#

#=>y=-6#

-6.

Explanation:

Start by distributing negative 5 (following the order of operations - we can't simplify in the parentheses here first, so we move onto multiplication/division from left to right first).

#-5y-5(-6-2y) =0#

#= -5y+30+10y=0#

Combine like terms that contain y.

#= 5y+30=0#

Subtract thirty to the other side:
#= 5y=-30#

Finally divide by 5:
#y=-6#
