Question

Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 8y + 4 = 6 + 2y + 1y?

Answer 1

Answer:
5y=2
Step-by-Step Explanation:

Combine like terms:
8y + 4 = 6 + 3y

Bring the 3y over:
8y - 3y + 4 = 6

Combine like terms:
5y + 4 = 6

Bring the 4 over:
5y = 6 - 4

Your simplified answer:
5y = 2

Answer 2

5y=2

Explanation:

8y + 4 = 6 + 2y + 1y

Combine like terms

8y+4 = 6+3y

Subtract 3y from each side

8y-3y+4 = 6+3y-3y

5y +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

5y+4-4 = 6-2

5y=2
