Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

4(9y - 5) = 10(3y + 17) - 40

Step 2: Solve for y

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 4:                                                                 36y - 20 = 10(3y + 17) - 40
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute 10:                                                               36y - 20 = 30y + 170 - 40
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         36y - 20 = 30y + 130
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 30y on both sides:                    6y - 20 = 130
  5. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 20 on both sides:                                  6y = 150
  6. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides:                                  y = 25
