Explanation

Tricky question.

The stem says that y > 4 but it does not mention the fact that it could be an integer such as 5 or a fraction such as $$\frac{6}{1.4} = 4.2$$

If you substitute 5 to A the result is 3.4 that is less than 4. OR 4.2 the result is 2.92 that is less than 4.

So, no matter what quantity B is > than quantity A

B is the answer

Multiply both sides by 5 and then subtract 3y. You get 2 vs 2y, and since y > 4, quantity B will always be bigger
