What value of y would make the expression yb−6+7+2b−3b+1 equivalent to 5b+2 ?(1 point)

Question

IT IS NOT FIVE

Answer 1

To find the value of y that would make the expression equivalent to 5b+2, we need to combine like terms and set the expression equal to 5b+2.

yb - 6 + 7 + 2b - 3b + 1 = 5b + 2

Combining like terms, we get:

(y + 2b - 3b) + (1 - 6 + 7) = 5b + 2

Simplifying further, we have:

(y - b) + 2 = 5b + 2

Now, we can set the coefficients of b equal to each other:

1 = 5

Since 1 is not equal to 5, there is no value of y that would make the expression equivalent to 5b+2.
