The value of y is equal to (-4 - 3x)/4.
Because there are two variables and only one equation, we cannot solve for the exact value of y.
However, we can still get a value of y.
y - 4 = 3x + 5y
Subtract y from both sides.
-4 = 3x + 4y
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4 - 3x = 4y
Divide all terms by 4.
(-4 - 3x)/4 = y
