Question

What is the solution to the open sentence?  4y – 3 = y + 6   A. 1   B. 2   C. 3   D. 9

Answer 1

4y - 3 = y + 6
Add 3 to both sides
4y = y + 9
Subtract y from both sides
3y = 9
Divide both sides by 3
y= 3

Answer 2

Option A - 1

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`4y-3=y+6`

To find : What is the solution to the open sentence?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

`4y-3=y+6`

Step 2 - Take like terms together,

`4y-y=6-3`

Step 3 - Solve the addition and subtraction,

`3y=3`

Step 4 - Divide by 3 both side,

`(3y)/(3)=(3)/(3)`

`y=1`

Therefore, Option A is correct.
