Question

Please help.
4y+8=6y+3

Answer 1

Is this true, false or open?

Answer 2

@Tracy14705 we need to get all our y's on the same side do you know how to do this?
as for true false or open i'm not sure what you mean by that.

Answer 3

No I don't.
True, the expressions are the same for all values of the variables?
False, the expressions are never the same?
Open, there is a variable?

Answer 4

well check this out. we need to get y by itself right?

you see we have an addition sign right? we can do the opposite by subtracting 4y on both sides

4y+8 = 6y+3
-4y -4y

Now what do you think we need to do?

8 = 2y+3
