If (3x-2y=4) and (x=4), what is the value of (y)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (y=4)

Here x is already known to be 4, so put this value into the other equation. This changes the two-variable equation into a one-variable equation in y. The coefficient of y is negative, so the sign must be handled carefully when isolating y. Substitution is sufficient; no elimination between two unknown equations is needed.

Replace x by 4 in \(3x-2y=4\): \(3(4)-2y=4\), so \(12-2y=4\). Subtract 12 from both sides to obtain \(-2y=-8\). Divide by -2, giving \(y=4\). Check: \(3(4)-2(4)=12-8=4\), exactly as required. Hence the correct choice is option D. A common error is to divide by 2 without keeping the negative sign, which would produce an incorrect value.
