Answer:

y = 2

Explanation:

Algebraic Equation is an equation where alphabets are used to represent numbers.

Solving the above question,

Let the number = y

Therefore,

Sum of the number = y + 3

If it's subtracted from 10 it becomes

10 - ( y + 3 )

The result : 10 - y - 3 = 5

- y = 5 - 10 + 3

- y = -2

Therefore,

y = 2
