Veronica attempted to solve the equation [tex]\(8 = y - 4.6\)[/tex]. Let's walk through her steps to confirm if she solved it correctly.
1. Setting Up:
- The initial equation is [tex]\(8 = y - 4.6\)[/tex]. This setup is correct.
2. Isolating [tex]\(y\)[/tex]:
- To isolate [tex]\(y\)[/tex], Veronica adds 4.6 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[
8 + 4.6 = y - 4.6 + 4.6
\][/tex]
- Simplifying both sides gives:
[tex]\[
12.6 = y
\][/tex]
- This step is also correct.
3. Calculating:
- The calculation [tex]\(8 + 4.6 = 12.6\)[/tex] is correct.
Veronica correctly solved the equation without making any mistakes.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(c) Veronica correctly solved the equation.
