Simplify the algebraic expression:

[tex]\[ y - \frac{3}{3} + 12 \][/tex]

A. [tex]\( y - 5 \)[/tex]

B. [tex]\( y + 11 \)[/tex]

C. [tex]\( y + 13 \)[/tex]

D. [tex]\( y - 11 \)[/tex]



Answer :

To simplify the algebraic expression [tex]\( y - \frac{3}{3} + 12 \)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Simplify the fraction [tex]\(\frac{3}{3}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{3} = 1 \][/tex]

2. Substitute this value back into the expression:
[tex]\[ y - 1 + 12 \][/tex]

3. Combine the constant terms [tex]\(-1\)[/tex] and [tex]\(12\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ -1 + 12 = 11 \][/tex]

4. Substitute [tex]\(11\)[/tex] back into the expression:
[tex]\[ y + 11 \][/tex]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:
[tex]\[ y + 11 \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is [tex]\(\boxed{B}\)[/tex].
