\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Original equation: }

\mathsf{5y + 4 - y - 7}


\huge\textbf{Convert to (if you want to)}


\mathsf{= 5y + 4 - 1y - 7}


\huge\textbf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}


\mathsf{= (5y - 1y) + ( 4 - 7)}


\huge\textbf{Original problem like terms:}


\mathsf{= (5y - y) + (4 - 7)}


\huge\textbf{Met the answer to the question:}


\mathsf{= 4y - 3}



\huge\textbf{Thus, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{4y - 3}}}\huge\checkmark
