Question

(07.03 LC)

Which statement is true about the solutions for the equation 3y + 4 = −2? (5 points)

Select one:
a. It has no solution.
b. It has one solution.
c. It has two solutions.
d. It has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

I got it right on the test!

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

THis is a single equation with a single variable [y].

We can separate the variable in one side and the numbers to another and solve for y. Shown below:

3y + 4 = -2

3y = -2 - 4

3y = -6

y = -6/3

y = -2

THus, this equation has only 1 solution. B is correct
