Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is D.


`(y)/(3) = 6 + x`

We now know the value of y when it is divided by 3. To find our answer (the value of y) we must multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (which is the opposite of dividing by 3). The answer is D.


`(y)/(3) * 3 = 6 * 3 + x * 3 \\ y = 18 + 3x`
