To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 3 to both terms in the parentheses:
y - 5 = 3*x - 3*2
Next, simplify by multiplying:
y - 5 = 3x - 6
Now, add 5 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -5 on the left side:
y - 5 + 5 = 3x - 6 + 5
Simplifying further, we have:
y = 3x - 1
So, the equation is:
y = 3x - 1
