Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is option B "false".

Reason:

To solve for y in the equations y + 1/3 = 5/6, subtract 1/3 from both sides of the equation. This statement is false. In order to solve this you have to divide 1/3 on both sides.

Therefore the answer is option B.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
