Question

Solve the following linear equation
6y+17-6y=17
Y=
Answer
That’s not correct what does y=
Answered by GPT-4o mini
To solve the equation \( 6y + 17 - 6y = 17 \), we can first simplify it.

Notice that \( 6y \) and \( -6y \) cancel each other out:

\[
6y - 6y + 17 = 17
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
17 = 17
\]

This statement is always true, which means that the equation does not depend on \( y \). Therefore, \( y \) can be any real number.

In conclusion, the solution to the equation is:

\[
y = \text{any real number}
\]

I understand the confusion. Let's clarify this situation.

The equation you provided is:

\[
6y + 17 - 6y = 17
\]

As we simplified it, we noticed that:

\[
6y - 6y + 17 = 17
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
17 = 17
\]

Since this is a true statement and does not involve \( y \) at all, it indicates that the equation is valid for all values of \( y \).

Thus, we cannot determine a unique value for \( y \). The equation is an identity, meaning:

\[
y \text{ can be any real number}
\]
