Question

Which equation is true when the value of "y" is 3 ? PLEASE HELP. NO LINKS! A: 2y -3 =6

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C)  11y+4 = 37

Explanation:

If we replaced y with 3 in choice A, then we get

2y-3 = 6

2(3)-3 = 6

6-3 = 6

3 = 6

which is a false statement. So choice A's solution is not y = 3. We can cross choice A off the list. The same applies with choices B and D as well.

Choice C is the answer because,

11y+4 = 37

11(3)+4 = 37

33+4 = 37

37 = 37

which is true. This confirms choice C.
