y-18=14
add 18 to each side
y = 32
Substitute 32 for y in 3(y+5)
3(32 + 5)
3(37)
111
So 3(y+5) = 111

Find the value of the variable y:
y-18=14 Add 18 on both sides:
y = 32
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now what is it that you want here?
3(y+5)
Simplify:
= 3y+15
You tell me what you want the variable to be and I'll make it come out.
For example, let's make:
3y+15 = 2,956
No problem:
3y+15 = 2956
3y = 2941
y = 980.333
