provide your answer below:
\\(y = \\)

Explanation:

Clear fractions by cross-multiplying

$$ 3(x + 5) = 1(2 - y) $$

Expand and isolate the term with y

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Simplify the expression

$$ y = -3x - 13 $$

Answer:

Solve \(\frac{x + 5}{2 - y} = \frac{1}{3}\) for \(y\).

\(y =\) <blank>\(-3x - 13\)</blank>
