Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.
15.2 + -2y + -1y = 0.2 + y + -1y

Combine like terms: -2y + -1y = -3y
15.2 + -3y = 0.2 + y + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0
15.2 + -3y = 0.2 + 0
15.2 + -3y = 0.2

Add '-15.2' to each side of the equation.
15.2 + -15.2 + -3y = 0.2 + -15.2

Combine like terms: 15.2 + -15.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -3y = 0.2 + -15.2
-3y = 0.2 + -15.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -15.2 = -15
-3y = -15

Divide each side by '-3'.
y = 5

Simplifying
y = 5
