Question

Help me find the value of "y" thanks

Answer 1

`y=3x-8`

Explanation:

First, you have to isolate y on one side of the equation.

Step 1) Add 5 to both sides (this will cancel out the (-5) on the left)

Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides (this will cancel out the (3x) on the left)

Step 3) Subtract y from both sides

Step 4) In order to make the desired variable positive, change the sign of everything in the equation

The step shown above will yield the answer of
`y=3x-8`

Answer 2

You would move you positive 3 to the left side so (y) is by itself. So you would have 3x-8=y. Then substitute X=5. So 3(5)-8=y. 15-8=y. 7=y
