4y-\left(y+3\right)=2\left(1+y\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2.
4y-y-3=2\left(1+y\right)
To find the opposite of y+3, find the opposite of each term.
3y-3=2\left(1+y\right)
Combine 4y and -y to get 3y.
3y-3=2+2y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1+y.
3y-3-2y=2
Subtract 2y from both sides.
y-3=2
Combine 3y and -2y to get y.
y=2+3
Add 3 to both sides.
y=5
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
