Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Since, we have $3y-1=11 $ and $3y-7=5$ Need to prove that the equations are equivalent. Consider the first equation, $3y-1=11 $ or, $3y=11+1 \implies y=4$ Now, consider the second equation, $3y-7=5 $ or, $3y=5+7 \implies y=4$ From both the equations, we have $y=4$ Hence, the given statement is true.
