Question

Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 6 y + 4 equals 8 + 2y + 2y

Answer 1

2y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial equation is:

6y + 4 = 8 + 2y + 2y

First, we need to add like terms, so we get:

6y + 4 = 8 + (2y + 2y)

6y + 4 = 8 + 4y

Then, subtract 4y from both sides:

6y + 4 - 4y = 8 + 4y - 4y

(6y - 4y) + 4 = 8

2y + 4 = 8

Finally, subtract 4 from both sides:

2y + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4

2y = 4

So, the simplified expression is:

2y = 4
