Is the equation true, false or open
4y+8=6y+3
The question is true.
its true
I need some help with this question. 4y+8=6y+3
Is it true, false, or open
Open, it has variable
To determine if the equation 4y+8=6y+3 is true, false, or open, we need to solve the equation and see if it is possible to find a value of y that makes both sides equal.
Let's start by simplifying the equation. We can do this by combining like terms on both sides of the equation.
4y + 8 = 6y + 3
First, let's move the variables (y) to one side of the equation and the constants (numbers) to the other side. We can achieve this by subtracting 4y from both sides:
8 = 6y - 4y + 3
Simplifying further, we have:
8 = 2y + 3
Now, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 3 from both sides:
8 - 3 = 2y + 3 - 3
5 = 2y
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y:
5/2 = y
The simplified result is y = 5/2.
Since we were able to find a value of y (5/2) that satisfies the equation, we can say that the equation 4y+8=6y+3 is true.
4y+8=6y+3
5 = 2y
2.5 = y
