To evaluate the expression all you have to do is substitute the value for the variable.
3 + y + 6, y = 5
3 + 5 + 6
8 + 6
14.
The solution is 14.
Mathematically written:
3 * x + 7 = 25
3x + 7 = 25
3x = 25 - 7
3x = 18
x = 18 / 3
x = 6
Proof:
3 * 6 + 7 = 25
18 + 7 = 25
25 = 25 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct
Notes:
A number - Is an unknown number, called a variable, which in this case is substituted by the letter x.

Answer:
Yes! The equation, y = 12x + 28 , work.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through points (-1, 16) and (5, 88)
The slope of the line = change in y ÷ change in x
i.e slope =
= 12
Taking another point (x ,y) on the line;
Slope is
= 12
y - 16 = 12x + 12
y = 12x + 12 + 16
y = 12x + 28
So the equation, y = 12x + 28, work!
