Question

$17 = 5y - 3$I need help with this question

Answer 1

Answer: y=4

Explanation:

The expression we have is:

$17=5y-3$

to solve for y we do the following steps.

Step 1: Add 3 on both sides of the equation

$17+3=5y-3+3$

Solving the operations we get:

$20=5y$

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5

$\frac{20}{5}=\frac{5y}{5}$

Doing the divisions we get:

$4=y$
