1 answer

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

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ y - 5 = 3(x - 2) \]

  2. Distribute the \( 3 \) on the right side: \[ y - 5 = 3x - 6 \]

  3. Now, add \( 5 \) to both sides to isolate \( y \): \[ y = 3x - 6 + 5 \]

  4. Simplifying the right side gives: \[ y = 3x - 1 \]

So, the final solution for \( y \) is: \[ y = 3x - 1 \]
