GIVEN: 7y - 3 ≤ 4y + 9
Subtract 4y from both sides: 3y - 3 ≤ 9
Add 3 to both sides: 3y ≤ 12
Divide both sides by 3 to get: y ≤ 4
This means that y COULD equal 4, in which case the two quantities are EQUAL
It also means that y COULD equal 3, in which case the Quantity B IS GREATER
Answer: D

\(7y-3 \leq 4y + 9\)
\(7y-4y \leq 9+3\)
\(3y \leq 12\)
\(y \leq 4\)
\(y = 4 \) in which case C is true
and \(y<4\) in which case B is true.
Therefore, the correct choice is D.
