Which number or numbers from the set 14, 17, 19 make the equation Y - 3 = 11 + 5 true Show your work
A 14
B 16
C 17
D 19
To make the equation true, we need to substitute the correct number for Y and check if the equation holds.
Let's try each number from the set:
For Y = 14:
14 - 3 = 11 + 5
11 = 16
This is not true.
For Y = 17:
17 - 3 = 11 + 5
14 = 16
This is not true.
For Y = 19:
19 - 3 = 11 + 5
16 = 16
This is true.
Therefore, the number that makes the equation true is 19.
The correct answer is D) 19.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try all the numbers from the given set and check if they satisfy the equation.
For Y = 14:
14 - 3 = 11 + 5
11 = 16
This is not true.
For Y = 17:
17 - 3 = 11 + 5
14 = 16
This is not true.
For Y = 19:
19 - 3 = 11 + 5
16 = 16
This is true.
Therefore, the numbers that make the equation true are 19.
The correct answer is D) 19.
To find which number or numbers from the set {14, 17, 19} make the equation Y - 3 = 11 + 5 true, we can substitute each number from the set into the equation and check if it satisfies the equation.
Let's substitute the numbers one by one:
1. For Y = 14:
Substituting Y = 14 into the equation:
14 - 3 = 11 + 5
11 = 16
As 11 does not equal 16, Y = 14 does not satisfy the equation.
2. For Y = 17:
Substituting Y = 17 into the equation:
17 - 3 = 11 + 5
14 = 16
Again, 14 does not equal 16, so Y = 17 does not satisfy the equation either.
3. For Y = 19:
Substituting Y = 19 into the equation:
19 - 3 = 11 + 5
16 = 16
Here, 16 equals 16, so Y = 19 satisfies the equation.
Therefore, the number from the set {14, 17, 19} that makes the equation Y - 3 = 11 + 5 true is 19.
The correct answer is D) 19.
