Option C
For each value of y, -2 is a solution of -21 = 6y - 9
Solution:
Given, equation is – 21 = 6y – 9
We have to find that whether given set of options can satisfy the above equation or not
Now, let us check one by one option
Option A)
Given option is -5
Let us substitute -5 in given equation
- 21 = 6(-5) – 9
- 21 = -30 – 9
- 21 = - 39
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
Option B)
Given option is 3
- 21 = 6(3) – 9
- 21 = 18 – 9
- 21 = 9
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
Option C)
Given option is -2
- 21 = 6(-2) – 9
- 21 = - 12 – 9
- 21 = - 21
L.H.S = R.H.S ⇒ yes a solution
Option D)
- 21 = 6(9) – 9
- 21 = 54 – 9
- 21 = 45
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
Hence, the solution for the given equation is – 2, so option c is correct
