Y<span>= 7 because if you divide both sides by three you get 3(4y -5) </span><span> ÷ 3 and 69</span><span> ÷ 3 and you simplify it you get 4y - 5 </span><span>= 23 then add 5 to both sides 4y - 5 + 5 = 23</span><span>+ 5 simplify that you get 4y </span><span>= 28 divide again but divide both sides by 4 4y </span><span>÷ 4 28 </span><span>÷ 4 simplify one more time and y </span><span><span>= 7!</span></span>
