Question

If y=3 then 14y equals

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

first, substitute 3 for y in 14y. 14y means you are multiplying 14 and y, so when you plug in 3 for y, you're multiplying 14 and 3! :)

• 14y ⇒ 14(3)

simplify by multiplying 14 · 3.

• 14(3) = 42

so, when y = 3, 14y = 42.

you can check the answer by solving for y in 14y = 42.

divide both sides of the equation by 14.

• 14y/14 = 1y or y
• 42/14 = 3

after dividing, you're left with y = 3. that means 14y does indeed equal 42 when y = 3! :)

i hope this helps! have a great rest of your day <3
