    y = 29/4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is given that,

    3 / (y - 5) = 15 / (y + 4)

    To find the value of y

    we have,

    3 / (y - 5) = 15 / (y + 4)

    3 (y + 4) = 15 (y - 5)

    (y + 4) = 5 (y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

    y + 4 = 5y - 25

    5y - 25 = y + 4

    5y - y = 4 + 25

    4y = 29

    y = 29/4

    Therefore the value of y = 29/4
