1. Start with the equation:
   $$
   2(3y-7) = 16
   $$

2. Distribute the 2:
   $$
   6y - 14 = 16
   $$

3. Add 14 to both sides:
   $$
   6y = 16 + 14 = 30
   $$

4. Divide both sides by 6:
   $$
   y = \frac{30}{6} = 5
   $$

Thus, the solution is:
$$
y=5
$$
$$ y = 5 $$

Solve for \( y \). \[ \begin{array}{l}2(3 y-7)=16 \\ \text { Simplify your answer as much as possible. } \\ y=\square\end{array} \]
