Presumably you would like to solve for y?
First, you square both sides to undo the square root.

Now subtract 12 from both sides.

What is the square root of y+12=5
--------------------
sqrt(y+12) = 5
Square both sides to get:
y+12 = 25
y = 13
----------
Check that answer in the original equaltion:
sqrt(13+12)=5
5 = 5
