To find the total weight \( y \) when there are 4 pancakes on the plate, you can substitute \( x = 4 \) into the equation \( y = 1.5x + 3.5 \):

\[
y = 1.5 \cdot 4 + 3.5
\]

Now, calculate:

\[
y = 6 + 3.5
\]
\[
y = 9.5
\]

So, the total weight when there are 4 pancakes on the plate is \( y = 9.5 \) (units of weight).
