hello
to solve this question, ket's simply make y the subject of formula
to do this, let's follow some steps
step 1
collect like terms
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5+3y=12 \\ 3y=12-5 \\ 3y=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]
step 2
divide both sides by 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3y=7 \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{7}{3} \\ y=\frac{7}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
from the calculations above, the value of y = 7/3
