Question

Somebody help me please,

When solving equations algebraically, Meghan and Meredith each got a different solution. Who is correct? Why did the other person not get the correct answer..?

Answer 1

Meghan is correct, y=8

Explanation:

8/2 = 4, 2/2 doesn't equal 4. When writing this algebraically, you would multiply 2 to leave the y alone. What happens to one side has to happen to the other, so you would multiply 4 by 2. You're left with y=8
