You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is like the last one we did, but you have a -2 on the left side. To simplify this, just add +2 to each side, and you will get .
For this there will be two solutions:
First solution:
y-5 = 12
y-5+5 = 12+5
y= 17
Second solution:
y-5 = -12
y -5+5 = -12 +5
y = -7
Check by substiting back into the original equation. They both work!
