Answer:
[tex]3x +2= y; y=5. \\3x +2 = 5\\3x =5 -2\\3x = 3\\Divide-both-sides-of-the-equation-by 3\\\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{3}{3} \\x = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 1
Step 1 : Substitute 5 for y in 3x +2= y
Step 2 : Collect like terms
Step 3 : Simplify
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
x = 1
