Question

Is the equation true, false, or open 3y+6=5y-8 brainly.com

Answer 1

False because if you substitute different numbers for y than you can see that they do not equal each other.

Answer 2

3y+5=5y-8
Move the eight over by adding it to each side
3y+13=5y
Then move the 3y over by subtracting it from each side
13=5y
Divide each side by five to get a clean y
Y=13/5 (it’s a fraction)
Since we couldn’t get a clean y, they don’t equal each other making the equation false.
