Answer: y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression we have is:


17=5y-3

to solve for y we do the following steps.

Step 1: Add 3 on both sides of the equation


17+3=5y-3+3

Solving the operations we get:


20=5y

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5


(20)/(5)=(5y)/(5)

Doing the divisions we get:


4=y
