The "answer" ... usually called the "solution" ... is the number that 'y' must be

in order to make the whole statement true. Here's how you can find it:

4y - 3 + y + 43 = 8y + 40 - 6y

Combine 'like' terms on each side of the equation:

5y + 40 = 2y + 40

Subtract 40 from each side:

5y = 2y

This can only be true if y = 0 , so that's your "answer".
