$y = \pm 5$ $y = +-5$

Explanation:

Whenever there is an equation to solve, what is actually being asked is to find out the set of values that satisfy the equation. In this case, we know that $y = + 5$ $y = +5$ and $y = - 5$ $y = -5$ would satisfy the equation. Thus the solution is $y = \pm 5$ $y = +-5$ .

In general, if you have $| y | = x$ $abs(y) = x$ , where $x$ $x$ is a real number, you may always write $y = \pm x$ $y = +- x$ .
