:ets say y=5x + 3
If a question asks me, "Find the integral of y", does that mean I just have to integrate the above equation? Thanks

Sort of. Pick one side of the equation (in this case, make it the more useful right side) and integrate that.

You should not have an "equals" sign inside an integral. ;)
 
Strictly speaking it means you have to integrate the function, y, which is defined as "5x+ 3". You could answer the question by integrating both sides of that equation (which is what I presume you mean by "integrate the equation") writing the left side as \(\displaystyle \int y dx\) and the right side as the actual integration.

Yes that's what I meant, thanks everyone
