To solve the given equation for y, first, we add like terms:


\begin{gathered} 6y+34+3y=7, \\ 9y+34=7. \end{gathered}

Subtracting 34 from the equation, we get:


\begin{gathered} 9y+34-34=7-34, \\ 9y=-27. \end{gathered}

Finally, dividing by 9, we get:


\begin{gathered} (9y)/(9)=-(27)/(9), \\ y=-3. \end{gathered}

Answer:


y=-3.
