2 cards have different expressions written on them.: 5y - 2 and 3y + 10. for what value of y do the 2 cards represent the same number?

If they have the same number, we set them equal to each other and solve for y:
5y - 2 = 3y + 10

To solve for y, we type this expression in our search engine and we get:
y = 6
