Multiply both sides by 3:
3(1/3(y+4))=3(3)
y+4=9
Subtract 4 from both sides:
y=5
Check:
1/3(5+4)=3
1/3(9)=3
3=3

1/3(y+4)=3
y+4=3*1/3
y+4=9
y=5

1/3(y+4)=3
to get rid of the 1/3, multiply both sides by 3. Now your eqation looks like this:
y+4=9
Now, subtract 4 from each side, and you have your solution!
y=5

1/3(Y+4)=3
(Y+4) = 9 (MULT BOTH SIDES BY 3)
Y=9-4
Y=5
