Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1.

4y=12

Dividing 4 both sides

y=3

Division property should be used.

Option 2.


(y)/(4)=12

Cross multiplying each other,

y=12(4)

y=48

Option 3.

2(4y)=12

Opening bracktet in LHS

8y=12

Dividing both sides by 8 i.e.


y=(12)/(8)\\\\y=(3)/(2)

Division property is used.

Option 4.

y+4=12

Subtracting both sides by 4 i.e.

Y+4-4=12-4

y=8

Subtraction property is used.

It means that in option (4) Soo-Jung used the subtraction property of equality to solve an equation for y.
