To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( y - 5 = (x - 2) \), follow these steps:
-
Start with the original equation:
\[ y - 5 = x - 2 \]
-
Add 5 to both sides to isolate \( y \):
\[ y = (x - 2) + 5 \]
-
Simplify the right side:
\[ y = x - 2 + 5 \] \[ y = x + 3 \]
So the solution is:
\[ y = x + 3 \]
Now, you can input the equation in the box below.
