C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Since we are told \(y = 2\), we can find the value of \(x\) by plugging \(y = 2\) into the equation \(x = 3y - 4 \)
We get: \(x = 3y - 4 = 3(2) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2\)
So, when \(y = 2\), we see that \(x = 2\)
