Column A	Column B
14y − 8 = 13
y	1.5

Solution:

Concept:

Solve the linear equation, then compare the value of

y

with

1.5

Explanation:

Start with

14y - 8 = 13

Add

8

to both sides:

14y = 21

Divide by

14

y = \frac{21}{14} = \frac{3}{2}

Thus

y = 1.5

Column A is

y = 1.5

, while Column B is

1.5

Both quantities are equal.

Answer:
