That is not correct.

add 6y on both sides first

pinksapphire · Answer

If it is 0=0 then there are infinite amount of solutions but if there is like 6=3 then there are no solutions.

Do you get it? The answer will be B...

Sorry! It was a typo. I asked my sister to type it in. She put A not B like I asked. :)

anonymous · Answer

If you look at it, both of the equations are the same. So there will be infinite solutions

@jim_thompson5910  Please, make it clear, why can't I get the answer like others? They said it is infinite solutions while my solution is 0.5.This is my work
6y -3 =-6y +3
+6y both sides
6y -3+6y =3
12y -3 =3
+3 both sides
12y-3+3 = 3+3
12y =6
divide both sides by 12
y = 6/12 = 0.5
Please , check what is wrong with my solution.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

y = 0.5 or y = 1/2 is correct

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it is the only solution
