What number must be placed in the box in the equation below to produce an equation that has more than one solution:\(\[\frac{1}{2}y + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12}\left(3+\boxed{\phantom{2}}~y\right)?\] \)
(1/2) y + (1/4) = (1/12) ( 3 + ( ) y)
(1/2)y + (1/4) = 3/12 + ( ) y / 12
(1/2)y + 1/4 =1/4 + ( ) y /12 subtract 1/4 from both sides
(1/2)y = (6 /12) y
6 wil produce infinite solutions
