6=y+5
Variable y cannot be equal to -5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6\left(y+5\right), the least common multiple of y+5,6.
y+5=6
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=6-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y=1
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
