A) 12
B) 13
C) 3.00
D) 0.33
E) 1.33

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for y, we can use the multiplication property of equality, which states that if we multiply both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the equation remains true. In this case, we can multiply both sides by 6 to isolate y:

\begin{align*}
\frac{y}{6} &= 2 \
\frac{y}{\cancel{6}} \cdot \cancel{6} &= 2 \cdot 6 \
y &= 12
\end{align*}

Therefore, the answer is choice A) 12.
