51=17\left(4y-9\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{9}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4y-9.
51=68y-153
Use the distributive property to multiply 17 by 4y-9.
68y-153=51
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
68y=51+153
Add 153 to both sides.
68y=204
Add 51 and 153 to get 204.
y=\frac{204}{68}
Divide both sides by 68.
y=3
Divide 204 by 68 to get 3.
