Show that 5(3y-2)=15y-10 for at least 5 values of y

Solving the equation for Y = 1. 5 * (3 * 1 - 2) = 15 * 1 - 10 5 * (3 - 2) = 15 -10 5 * 1 = 5 5 = 5 Solving the equation for Y = 2. 5 * (3 * 2 - 2) = 15 * 2 - 10 5 * (6 - 2) = 30 -10 5 * 4 = 20 20 = 20 Solving the equation for Y = 4. 5 * (3 * 4 - 2) = 15 * 4 - 10 5 * (12 - 2) = 60 -10 5 * 10 = 50 50 = 50 Solving the equation for Y = 8. 5 * (3 * 8 - 2) = 15 * 8 - 10 5 * (24 - 2) = 120 -10 5 * 22 = 110 110 = 110 Solving the equation for Y = 9. 5 * (3 * 9 - 2) = 15 * 9 - 10 5 * (27 - 2) = 135 -10 5 * 25 = 125 125 = 125 This proves that the equation holds good for at least 5 values of 'y', which are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9. However, it can be proved that the equation holds good for any value of y. Expression 5(3y-2) can be simplified to 15y -10 which is the same expression on the right had side of the equation provided. So, equation 5(3y-2)=15y-10 is actually 15y-10=15y-10 and since this is true for all values of y, it has been proved that it is true for at least 5 values of y.
