Answer:

y=4

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6y+4−3y=−5+y+17

6y+4+−3y=−5+y+17

(6y+−3y)+(4)=(y)+(−5+17)(Combine Like Terms)

3y+4=y+12

3y+4=y+12

Step 2: Subtract y from both sides.

3y+4−y=y+12−y

2y+4=12

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

2y+4−4=12−4

2y=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2= 8/2 = y=4

have a nice day!!!
