Question

The incorrect work of a student to solve an equation 2(y + 6) = 4y is shown below: Step 1: 2(y + 6) = 4y Step 2: 2y + 8 = 4y Step 3: 2y = 8 Step 4: y = 4 Which of the following explains how to correct Step 2 and shows the correct value of y? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me i need help badly

Answer 1

Alright I know I'm late but I'll put this here anyways

Write your problem out.

2(y + 6) = 4y

then take away the parantheises [cannot spell im sorry]

add 2 on each side.

2 x y + 2 x 6 = 4y

Multiply 2 and 6.

2 x 12 = 4y

Move the 2 and use that to take away 2 from 4y.

12 = 2y

Final inverse operations, divide 12 by 2.

12 divided by 2 = 6

so,

y = 6

Your answer is;

2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 6

Answer 2

it should be 2 should be distrubed as 2y+12,y=6 theirs yr awser
