The answer out of the choices that you have given me is C. Because you are adding 2 and 3 and y is going to be the quotient so that's the answer.

Answer:

A. The sum of 2 and the quotient of 3 and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression: $2+3\div y$ . We are asked to choose the correct statement about our given expression.

We will use order of operations (PEMDAS) to answer our given problem.

P = Parenthesis.

E = Exponent.

M = Multiplication

D = Division

A = Addition

S = Subtraction

According to order of operations division comes before addition, so our expression will be: $2+(3\div y)$ , which is the sum of 2 and the quotient of 3 and y.

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.

Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.

2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3

now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
-42 -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3

now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6

solution is (6,3)

it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)

so yes, ur solution is (6,3)
