Question 693116
Yes it's linear because it graphs a straight line. Here's how you solve it.


{{{5+3y=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3y=8-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{3y=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(3)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=1}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=1}}}
