Question

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of y for the equation 6y − 3y − 5 = −3 + 23: Step 1: 6y − 3y − 5 = −3 + 23 Step 2: 6y − 3y − 5 = 20 Step 3: 3y − 5 = 20 Which of these is most likely the next step? 3y = 4 3y = 15 3y = 25 3y = 5\

Answer 1

3y-5=20
+5. +5
3y=25

Answer: 3y=25

Answer 2

3y-5=20
add 5 is the next step
to obtain
3y=25
so 3rd option
