Question 6.
For which equation is y = 9 a solution?
(A) 9y = 9
(B) y – 17 = -8
(C) y + 9 = 0
(D) $$\frac{y}{2}$$ = 18
(B) y – 17 = -8

Explanation:
(A) 9 (9) = 9 substitute for the vaLue of y and multiply.
81 ≠ 9

(B) 9 – 17 = -8 substitute for the value of y and subtract
-8 = -8

(C) 9 + 9 = 0 substitute for the value of y and add
18 ≠ 0

(D) $$\frac{9}{2}$$ = 18 substitute for the value of y
2 $\frac{9}{2}$ = [18] 2 multiply both sides of the equation by 2
9 ≠ 36
