Answer:

IF YOU HAVE TO SOLVE FOR Y THEN TAKE X AS ANY NUMBER YOU WANT.

SUPPOSE X=2

PUT THE VALUE IN THE EQUATION THEN U WILL GET-

Y+2(2)=5

= Y+4=5

= Y=5-4

= Y=1

THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE BUT THERE CAN BE INFINITIVE NUMBER OF ANSWERS FOR THIS QUESTION.

I WILL SHOW U ONE MORE EXAMPLE.

IF X=1

THEN THE EQUATION WILL BE-

Y+2(1)=5

Y+2=5

Y=5-2

Y=3

SO HERE WE GOT Y=1&3

AND ALSO Y CAN HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS (THIS IS ON THE BASIS OF THE PROPERTY OF LINEAR EQUATION, I.E., A LINEAR EQUATION CAN HAVE INFINITIVE SOLUTIONS)
