You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y%2B3=4y%2B18 Start with the given equation.


y=4y%2B18-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


y-4y=18-3 Subtract 4y from both sides.


-3y=18-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3y=15 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2815%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y.


y=-5 Reduce.
