To solve for Y, we will first simplify the right side of the equation and then isolate Y on one side.
Y - 5 = 3(x - 2)
First, distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
Y - 5 = 3x - 6
Next, we can isolate Y by adding 5 to both sides of the equation:
Y - 5 + 5 = 3x - 6 + 5
Simplifying further:
Y = 3x - 1
Therefore, the solution for Y is Y = 3x - 1.
Solve for Y, show work
Y - 5 = 3(x-2)
