To find the value of y in the equation y - 5 = 13, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.

1. Start with the equation: y - 5 = 13.
2. To isolate y, we need to get rid of the -5 on the left side. We can do this by adding 5 to both sides of the equation.
y - 5 + 5 = 13 + 5
Simplifying,
y = 18

So, in this equation, y = 18.
