When y = 2, what is the value of 4x + 3y?

  1. 10

  2. 11

  3. 12

  4. 14

The correct answer is: 12

When y = 2, plugging it in the given equation becomes 4x + 6. This cannot be simplified further as x is not given. Therefore, the value of 4x + 3y is dependent on the value of x. Looking at the other given options, A, B, and D all have a constant while the equation we are given changes based on the value of x. Hence, the other options are incorrect because they do not account for the unknown value of x in the equation.
