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


\begin{gathered} 5+3y=12 \\ 3y=12-5 \\ 3y=7 \end{gathered}

step 2

divide both sides by 3


\begin{gathered} 3y=7 \\ (3y)/(3)=(7)/(3) \\ y=(7)/(3) \end{gathered}

from the calculations above, the value of y = 7/3
