Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

8y - 3 = бу + 17

~Subtract 8y to both sides

8y - 3 - 8y = бу + 17 - 8y

~Simplify

-3 = -2y + 17

~Subtract 17 to both sides

-3 - 17 = -2y + 17 - 17

~Simplify

-20 = -2y

~Divide -2 to both sides

-20/-2 = -2y/-2

~Simplify

10 = y

------------------------------------------------

Hence, the answer is
\Large\boxed{\mathsf{y~=~10}}

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
