16\left(y+1\right)=18+15
Variable y cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y+1.
16y+16=18+15
Use the distributive property to multiply 16 by y+1.
16y+16=33
Add 18 and 15 to get 33.
16y=33-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
16y=17
Subtract 16 from 33 to get 17.
y=\frac{17}{16}
Divide both sides by 16.
