Answer:

there is only 1 solution.

Explanation:

We can solve the equation to find it's number of solutions, but we already know it only has 1 solution because it is a linear equation (y is raised to the first power).

3y + 5 − 2y = 11

y + 5 = 11

y = 6

This confirms that there is only 1 solution.-------

Answer:

B one

Explanation:

3y + 5 - 2y = 11

3y -2y + 5 = 11

Combine like terms

y + 5 = 11

Subtract 5 from both sides

y = 11 - 5

y = 6

So, Only one solution
