Answer:

y=2

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

First, add by 1 from both sides of an equation.


3y-1+1=13-4y+1

Then, simplify by equation.


3y=-4y+14

Next, add by 4y from both sides of an equation.


3y+4y=-4y+14+4y

Simplify.


7y=14

Divide by 7 from both sides of an equation.


(7y)/(7)=(14)/(7)

And finally, simplify by equation.


14/7=2


14/2=7


2*7=14


7*2=14

Answer: →
y=2

Hope this helps!
