Answer 1

No equivalent, 8x + 4y = 4 (2x + y)

Explanation:

In the example, 1 should be a coefficient of the variable y. Since there is no y variable, the example would be equal to 8x + 4. However, the answer choice selected still keeps the 2x, but adds a y variable in the place of the one, which, when we distribute, gives us 4y.
