Question 271613
what is the vaule of y in the equation x=3y+5


x=3y+5

The solution for this is to keep y on one side of the equation & remove all terms on the side of y

Add -5 on both sides of the equation to eliminate 5

x-5 = 3y+5 -5


x-5 = 3y

Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation to eliminate 3 

x-5 /3 = 3y/3

x-5 / 3 = y
