Answer: 17
Explanation:
Each side has one line on it indicating each side is equal therefore 5y-3= 4y+1. Once you put them equal to each other you solve for y. You start by isolating the variable by inverse operations so you add 3 to both sides which leaves 5y=4y+4 and then you subtract 4y from both sides leaving y=4. Now that you found the value of y you input that value into one of the expression for one of the sides and solve. 5(4)-3= 17
