The graph of the equation is attached below

The equation 3x = 5 - y can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as y = 3x - 5. This means the line has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -5.

To graph the line, you can:

1. Plot the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is -5, so the point is (0, -5).

2. Use the slope to find another point on the line. The slope tells you rise over run. In this case, the slope is 3, so you rise 3 units up and run 1 unit to the right from the y-intercept. This will give you the point (1, 2).

3. Draw a line through the two points.

The graph of the equation 3x = 5 - y is attached below.
