Question

Pls helpppppppppppppppp Which value of y makes the equation 12y−3=5 true?

y is equal to 2

y is equal to 1

y is equal to 2 thirds

y=13

Answer 1

y = 2/3

Explanation:

so 12y-3=5, add the 3 to the 5 to get 12y=8. Then divide the 12y by 12 and the 8 by 12. In so you geet y=2/3

Answer 2

y is equal to 2 thirds (y = 2/3)

Explanation:

12y − 3 = 5

Substitute the given options to see which one will provide a true statement:

If y = 2:

12y − 3 = 5

12(2) − 3 = 5

24 − 3 = 5

21 = 5 (False statement, so it's not the right answer).

If y = 1:

12(1) − 3 = 5

12− 3 = 5

9 = 5 (False statement).

If y = 2/3:

12(2/3) − 3 = 5

8 - 3 = 5

5 = 5 (True statement).

If y = 13:

12(13) − 3 = 5

156 - 3 = 5

153 = 5 (False statement).

Therefore, the correct answer is: y = 2/3.
