The incorrect work of a student to solve an equation 2(y + 4) = 4y is shown below:

Step 1: 2(y + 4) = 4y
Step 2: 2y + 6 = 4y
Step 3: 2y = 6
Step 4: y = 3
Which of the following explains how to correct Step 2 and shows the correct value of y?
The equation should be y + 4 = 4y after division by 2: y = 5
The equation should be y + 4 = 4y after division by 2 y = 2
O2 should be distributed as 2y + 8,
O2 should be distributed as 2y + 8, y = 2

Answer:

2(y+4)=4y

2y+8=4y

8=4y-2y

8÷2=y

4=y

Therefore y =4
