To find the number that makes the equation y + 15 = 40 true, we need to substitute each number from the set {15, 25, 35, 55} into the equation and see which one results in a true statement.
Substituting 15 into the equation, we get 15 + 15 = 40, which is false.
Substituting 25 into the equation, we get 25 + 15 = 40, which is false.
Substituting 35 into the equation, we get 35 + 15 = 40, which is false.
Substituting 55 into the equation, we get 55 + 15 = 40, which is false.
None of the numbers from the set {15, 25, 35, 55} make the equation y + 15 = 40 true.
just pick one
In that case, choosing one number from the set {15, 25, 35, 55} that makes the equation y + 15 = 40 true, we can substitute 25 into the equation.
25 + 15 = 40
This is true since 25 + 15 does indeed equal 40.
