Y - 18 = 14 ---> Y=14 + 18 3(y + 5) ----> 3y + 15 Plug the value of Y in the second equation. So, 3(14+18) + 15 = ? 3(32) + 15 = ? 96 + 15 = ? = 111

y-18=14
y=14+18
y=32

3(y+5)=?
All you have to do is figure out what y is and then substitute the value of y into the second expression.

3(32+5)=3(37)=111
