Answer:

9

Explanation:

We have to move -3y to by itself so we move 43 to the other side, when we do this 43 becomes negitive.

-3y = 16 - 43

-3y = -27

Now we divide -27 by -3

y = -27/-3

y = 9

Answer:-


\rightarrow\sf{y \:=\: 9}

Solution:-


\rightarrow\sf{43 - 3y\: = \:16}


\rightarrow\sf{-3y\: = \:16-43}


\rightarrow\sf{-3y\: = \:-27}


\rightarrow\sf{3y \:= \:27}


\rightarrow\sf{y\: = \:(27)/(3)}


\rightarrow\sf{y \:= \:9}

Therefore, value of unknown y = 9.
