I think it would be like y-4y wold be 4y then 4y+3 would be 7y? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve for y: Perform the indicated subtraction on the left side. Now Subtract 3 from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by -3.
Note! You cannot add 4y+3 to get 7y, why not? because the two terms are not alike. It's sorta like trying to add $4 + 3 pesos! I can't be done!
