Answer:

[tex]\Huge \boxed{-15y-9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to use the distributive property of [tex]\displaystyle a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex].

First, expand.

[tex]\displaystyle -2(5y+6)[/tex]

[tex]-2*5=-10[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle -2*6=-12[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle -10y-12[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle -10y-12+3-5y[/tex]

Next, solve.

[tex]\displaystyle -10-12+3-5=\boxed{-15y-9}[/tex]

In conclusion, the correct answer is -15y-9.
