Respuesta :

You would move you positive 3 to the left side so (y) is by itself. So you would have 3x-8=y. Then substitute X=5. So 3(5)-8=y. 15-8=y. 7=y

Answer:

[tex]y=3x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to isolate y on one side of the equation.

Step 1) Add 5 to both sides (this will cancel out the (-5) on the left)

Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides (this will cancel out the (3x) on the left)

Step 3) Subtract y from both sides

Step 4) In order to make the desired variable positive, change the sign of everything in the equation

The step shown above will yield the answer of [tex]y=3x-8[/tex]
