What is the value of the expression \(2y - 3\) when \(y = 5\)?

What is the value of the expression \(2y - 3\) when \(y = 5\)?

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 10
• D. 12

Answer: (D)

To find the value of the expression \(2y - 3\) when \(y = 5\), you substitute \(5\) for \(y\) in the expression. 1. Substitute \(y\) with \(5\): \[ 2(5) - 3 \] 2. Multiply \(2\) by \(5\): \[ 10 - 3 \] 3. Finally, subtract \(3\) from \(10\): \[ 10 - 3 = 7 \] Thus, the value of the expression \(2y - 3\) when \(y = 5\) is \(7\). By confirming all calculations, the correct answer is illustrated as \(B\). Therefore, if \(D\) was marked as the answer, it seems there was an error in the choice selection as the calculation supports that \(7\) is the true result when substituting \(y = 5\) into the expression.

To find the value of the expression (2y - 3) when (y = 5), you substitute (5) for (y) in the expression.

1. Substitute (y) with (5):

[

2(5) - 3

]

2. Multiply (2) by (5):

[

10 - 3

]

3. Finally, subtract (3) from (10):

[

10 - 3 = 7

]

Thus, the value of the expression (2y - 3) when (y = 5) is (7).

By confirming all calculations, the correct answer is illustrated as (B). Therefore, if (D) was marked as the answer, it seems there was an error in the choice selection as the calculation supports that (7) is the true result when substituting (y = 5) into the expression.
