![**Problem Statement:**
If B2 is changed from 7 to 9, what value will appear in C3 if C3 contains the formula =B2*2?
**Relevant Table:**
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
& A & B & C \\
\hline
1 & 3 & 4 & \\
\hline
2 & 12 & 7 & \\
\hline
3 & 6 & 2 & 14 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
**Options:**
- A) 18
- B) 9
- C) 27
- D) 8
**Solution Explanation:**
1. Review the initial values in the table, specifically focusing on cell B2 which holds the value 7.
2. According to the formula in C3 (=B2*2), this means the existing value in B2 (7) when plugged into the formula gives `7 * 2 = 14`.
3. The problem instructs changing B2 from 7 to 9.
4. Substitute the new value of B2 (9) into the formula in C3 (`=B2*2`):
\[
C3 = 9 * 2 = 18
\]
Therefore, if B2 is changed from 7 to 9, the value that will appear in C3 is 18.
**Correct Answer:**
A) 18](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2c2b8482-8307-4cce-be9e-ba8d5d3204ce%2F06b04b18-aa98-4c6c-bffa-7a6eed194b44%2F07rawcs_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
