Final answer:

The solution to the equation 17y - 24y + 13y = 210y simplifies to y = 0, which is not among the given answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 17y - 24y + 13y = 210y, we need to first combine like terms on the left-hand side. This simplifies to 6y = 210y. Next, we subtract 210y from both sides of the equation to get -204y = 0. Finally, we divide both sides by -204 to find the value of y. The final solution to this equation is y = 0, which means the initial equation is only true if y is 0. However, since 0 is not an option among the given answer choices, it indicates that there may have been an error in either the problem statement or the solution process.
