If 4y + 3 = 27 what is y?
4
6
7
8
The correct answer is: 6
In this equation, we can solve for y by isolating it using inverse operations. We can subtract 3 from both sides and then divide both sides by 4 to isolate y. This leaves us with y = (27-3)/4, which simplifies to y = 24/4, or y = 6. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the rules of algebra and do not solve for y when substituted into the original equation. Option A would give us 19 instead of 27, option C would give us 7 instead of 27, and option D would give us 11 instead of 27.
