I'll do the first two to get you started
See the diagram below for the filled out answers.
====================================================
Problem 1
You are correct in saying that 10 goes in the first box. This is from 2*5 = 10 when you apply the distributive property a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c.
For the next box, you'll have x go inside it. This is because we subtract 2x from both sides and then note how 3x-2x becomes x. This x is found on the right side of the third line.
For the last box, we have 9 go inside it. This is from subtracting 1 from both sides, so 10-1 becomes 9.

Problem 2
We add 2y to both sides so that 3y becomes 5y. Ie, 2y+3y = 5y
As a way to check the answer, note how 5y is on the left side of line 2.
Then we'll add 4 to both sides. So 6 updates to 6+4 = 10 on the right side. We type 10 in the second box.
The last step is to divide both sides by 2. The equation 5y = 10 solves to y = 2
