Question

Pick out the solution from the values given in the bracket next to each equation. Show that the other values do not satisfy the given equation. 3y -2 =16 ( 3 ,6, 9,2 )
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Only 6 satisfies the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

3y-2=16

So if y is 3, it will be 3×3-2=16, which is 9-2=16,which will be 7, so the LHS and RHS will not be equal.

If y is 9, it will be 3×9-2=16, which is 27-2=16, which will be 25, so the LHS and RHS will not be equal.

If y is 2, it will be 3×2-2=16, which is 6-2=16, which will be 4, so the LHS and RHS will not be equal.

But if y is 6, it will be 3×6-2=16, which is 18-2=16, which will be 16, therefore the LHS and RHS will be equal.

Hope this helps !
