Question

Your friend solves the equation. Is your friend correct? Student work is shown. The first line reads, negative 2 left-parenthesis 7 minus y right-parenthesis, plus 4 equals negative 4. The second line reads, negative 14 minus 2 y, plus 4 equals negative 4. The third line reads, negative 10 minus 2 y equals negative 4. The fourth line reads, negative 2 y equals 6. The fifth line reads, y equals negative 3. Responses

Answer 1

-2(7-y)+4=-4
-14-2y+4=-4 (-16)
-10-2y=-4 (-16)
-2y=6 (-6)
y=-3 (-3=-3)

sorry if i’m wrong but all i did was switch the y’s to 3’s but that was from my understanding
