Question

Find the value of y

y + 5 = 2x + 6

Answer 1

We are given the equation
`y+5=2x+6` and are told to solve for the variable
`y`. To isolate the asked variable, all we have to do is subtract
`5` from both sides. This gives us
`\boxed{y=2x+1}`, which is the answer.

Answer 2

You have to isolate the y, so just subtract 5 from both sides to get:
y + 5 - 5 = 2x + 6 -5
y= 2x + 1

Hope it makes sense.
