Solution Steps

Solution Approach
  1. Initialize the variable x with the value 5.
  2. Initialize the variable y with the value 8.
  3. Update the value of y to be the sum of x and 3.
Step 1: Initialize Variables

Set \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 8 \).

Step 2: Update Variable \( y \)

Calculate the new value of \( y \) using the expression \( y = x + 3 \). Substituting the value of \( x \): \[ y = 5 + 3 = 8 \]

Final Answer

The final value of \( y \) is \( \boxed{8} \).
