Answer

$y=-1-\frac{3}{4}x$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $y-4=3x+5y$ Subtract $y$ from both sides of the equation. Then, $y-4-y=3x+5y-y$ $\implies -4=3x+4y$ Subtract $3x$ from both sides of the equation to get $-4-3x=4y$ Divide both sides of the equation by $4$ to obtain the solution. $y=\frac{-4-3x}{4}$ Or $y=-1-\frac{3}{4}x$
