Hello There!

3y + 1 = 4y - 6
-3y -3y
1 = y - 6
+6 +6
7 = y

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to move all the y's on side and the constants on the other. You can do this by doing the opposite operation of the terms. In this case, I would subtract 3y from both sides and add 6 to both sides to get

6 + 1 = 4y - 3y
which simplifies to

y = 7
which would be your answer.
