Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to move -3y to by itself so we move 43 to the other side, when we do this 43 becomes negitive.
-3y = 16 - 43
-3y = -27
Now we divide -27 by -3
y = -27/-3
y = 9
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{y \:=\: 9}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{43 - 3y\: = \:16}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{-3y\: = \:16-43}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{-3y\: = \:-27}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{3y \:= \:27}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{y\: = \:\frac{27}{3}}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{y \:= \:9}[/tex]
Therefore, value of unknown y = 9.
