Is this really a school question or is it just you being weird?
When you move a number to the opposite side of the equation, in this occasion it will be 23- it changes to the opposite value. So us 23 is a positive value you can move it and change it to a negative. Or in other words suntract -23 from all sides of the equation, which will be equal to:
y = 59 - 23
Y = 36
