-4\left(y+1-2y+3\right)=2y-3
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(2y-3\right), the least common multiple of 3-2y,4.
-4\left(-y+1+3\right)=2y-3
Combine y and -2y to get -y.
-4\left(-y+4\right)=2y-3
Add 1 and 3 to get 4.
4y-16=2y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by -y+4.
4y-16-2y=-3
Subtract 2y from both sides.
2y-16=-3
Combine 4y and -2y to get 2y.
2y=-3+16
Add 16 to both sides.
2y=13
Add -3 and 16 to get 13.
y=\frac{13}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
