Open in App
Solution

Given,Equation is 3y-2=16

So, for y=3

We get, LHS=3×3-2=9-2=7

Now, LHSRHS for y=3. So y=3 is not a solution for the equation 3y-2=16.

So, for y=6

We get, LHS=3×6-2=18-2=16

Now, LHS=RHS for y=6. So y=6 is a solution for the equation 3y-2=16.

So, for y=9

We get, LHS=3×9-2=27-2=25

Now, LHSRHS for y=9. So y=9 is not a solution for the equation 3y-2=16.

So, for y=2

We get, LHS=3×2-2=6-2=4

Now, LHSRHS for y=2. So y=2 is not a solution for the equation 3y-2=16.

Hence, y=6 is a solution for the equation 3y-2=16.
