Answer
y = -$\frac{-7}{4}$
Work Step by Step
24y -10 =20y -17 Add 10 to both sides
24y -10 +10=20y -17 +10
24y = 20y -7 Subtract 20y from both sides
24y -20y = 20y -7 -20y
4y = -7
y =-$\frac{7}{4}$
Check
Replace y with -$\frac{7}{4}$
24y -10 =20y -17
24$\times$ $\frac{-7}{4}$ -10 =20 $\times$ $\frac{-7}{4}$- 17
-$\frac{6\times4\times7}{4}$ -10 = -$\frac{5\times4\times7}{4}$- 17
-42 -10 = -35 -17
-52 = -52
