<h3>
Answer: False</h3>
==============================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to type out
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so
(y-2)^2
(y-2)(y-2)
x(y-2) .... let x = y-2
xy-2x
y(x)-2(x)
y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2
y^2-2y-2y+4
y^2-4y+4
So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4
--------------------------
Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2
0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 12 + 4
0 = -4
We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.
(a) Without solving the equation we can't determine whether its true or false.
(b) If x = 3
4x + 1 = 2x + 5
4(3) + 1 = 2(3) + 5
12 + 1 = 15 + 5
13 = 20
No, if x = 3, the equation will not be true.
(c) 4x + 1 = 2x + 5
4x - 2x = 5 - 1
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
This shows that x = 2 makes the equation true.
