1 answer

To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( y - 5 = 3(x - 2) \), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 3 on the right side of the equation:

    \[ y - 5 = 3x - 6 \]

  2. Add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate \( y \):

    \[ y = 3x - 6 + 5 \]

  3. Simplify the right side:

    \[ y = 3x - 1 \]

So, the solution for \( y \) is:

\[ y = 3x - 1 \]
