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

Answer 1

The expression yb-6+7+2b-3b+1 can be simplified as follows:

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

To make this expression equivalent to 5b+2, we need to equate the coefficients of b and the constant terms:

(y-1) = 5 and 2 = 2

From the first equation, we can solve for y:

y-1 = 5
y = 5+1
y = 6

Therefore, the value of y that would make the expression equivalent to 5b+2 is y = 6.
