Step 2: 2y + 6 = 4y
Step 3: 2y = 6
Step 4: y = 3
Which of the following explains how to correct Step 2 and shows the correct value of y?
A. The equation should be y + 4 = 4y after division by 2; y = 5
B. The equation should be y + 4 = 4y after division by 2; y = 2
C. 2 should be distributed as 2y + 8; y = 4
