17-9y=-3+16y
20=25y
20/25=25y/25
20/25=y
4/5(fraction)=y
I hope this was the answer, im not good at explaining so if you have any questions about how I did it then ill try my best to tell you.

So to solve this equation you first have to move all the y to one side and number to another

16y+9y=17+3
25y=20

Then finally decide both side by 25
y=4/5
