The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of y for the equation 4y - 2y - 4 = - 1 + 13:

Step 1: 4y - 2y - 4 = - 1 + 13

Step 2: 4y - 2y - 4 = 12

Step 3: 2y - 4 = 12

Which of these is most likely the next step?

2y = 3

2y = 8

2y = 16

2y = 18

Sage Booth · Answer 1

2y=16. This is because

2y-4=12

2y=12+4

2y=16

Ingrid · Answer 2

2y=16, because 2y-4=12

+4=+4

2y=16
