The incorrect work of a student to solve an equation 2(y + 6) = 4y is shown below:

step 1: 2(y + 6) = 4y
step 2: 2y + 8 = 4y
step 3: 2y = 8
step 4: y = 4

which of the following explains how to correct step 2 and shows the correct value of y?
2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 6 2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 3 the equation should be y + 6 = 4y after division by 2; y = 2 the equation should be y + 6 = 4y after division by 2; y = 1
