What is the value of (8 + 3y) - 7y when y=2?

The correct answer is: 3

The value of (8 + 3y) - 7y when y=2 can be found by substituting y=2 into the equation and simplifying. (8 + 3(2)) - 7(2) = 8 + 6 - 14 = 14 - 14 = 0. Therefore, the value of (8 + 3y) - 7y when y=2 is 0. Option B is incorrect because it does not take into account the presence of y in the equation, which changes the value of the expression. Option C is incorrect because it does not use the correct substitution for y=2 in the equation. Option D is incorrect because it does not take into account the order of operations, which states that multiplication and division should be done before addition and subtraction.
