To find the answer, you need to first add negative one to the eleven on the other side of the equation. Now, you have the equation 5y= 3y+12. The next step is to subtract 3y from both sides. With the resulting equation, 2y=12, you need to divide both sides by 2. The answer is y=6. Algebra is nothing but combining like terms and using deductive reasoning to find a missing factor; keep working at it, and you'll be an expert!
