To solve for y, we need to combine like terms and isolate y on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify by adding y to both sides:
5y + y + 3 = 36

This simplifies to:
6y + 3 = 36

Next, subtract 3 from both sides:
6y = 33

Finally, divide by 6 to solve for y:
y = 33/6
y = 5.5

Therefore, the solution for y is 5.5.
