1 4/5 or 1.8 because to balance equation you must add 3 to each side then divide by 5 on each side.

Answer:

y = 9/5

4th Option

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out function f(y)

f(y) = 5y - 3

Step 2: Define variable from problem

f(y) = 6

Step 3: Replace variable

6 = 5y - 3

Step 4: Add 3 to both sides

9 = 5y

Step 5: Isolate y by dividing both sides by 5

y = 9/5
