y - x - 3 is an expression, not an equation nor an inequality. It cannot, therefore, have a solution.

x+y=-8 2x-y=4 y=-x-8 2x+x+8=4 3x=-4 x=-4/3 -4/3 + y= -8 y = -8 + 4/3 y= -6 2/3
I understand the equation to be y = -3x - 2 and the point to be (5,1). I substitute 1 for each appearance of y and 5 for each appearance of x: 1 = -3(5) - 2 = -15 - 2 = -17, which is not a true statement. Therefore, that is not a solution. To get a solution, set x=1, and calculate y by substituting this value (1) for x wherever it appears: y = -3(1) - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5. Therefore, (-5,1) is a solution. (I suspect that this is what you meant to put in the question.)
If the expression is (x - y)2, the solution is (7 - -2)2 = (7+2)2 = 92 = 81. If the expression is x - y2, the solution is 7 - (-2)2 = 7 - 4 = 3.
In mathematics, when we have an equation with two variables like y = f(x), we can find the value of y when x is three by substituting x = 3 into the equation. Without the specific equation provided, it is impossible to determine the value of y when x is three. The solution would depend on the function or relationship between y and x given in the equation.
