Question

For each value of y, determine whether it is a solution to y÷2 = 6.

y
6
16
10
14
Is it a solution?

Answer 1

None are solutions.

Explanation:

Divide each value of y by 2 and see if it equals 6. If it does, then it is a solution. If it doesn't then it isn't a solution.

6 ÷ 2 = 6

3 ≠ 6

not a solution

16 ÷ 2 = 6

8 ≠ 6

not a solution

10 ÷ 2 = 6

5 ≠ 6

not a solution

14 ÷ 2 = 6

7 ≠ 6

not a solution
