Question

Find the value of y

y + 5 = 2x + 6

Answer 1

You have to isolate the y, so just subtract 5 from both sides to get:
y + 5 - 5 = 2x + 6 -5
y= 2x + 1

Hope it makes sense.

Answer 2

We are given the equation $y+5=2x+6$ and are told to solve for the variable $y$. To isolate the asked variable, all we have to do is subtract $5$ from both sides. This gives us $\boxed{y=2x+1}$, which is the answer.
