Please help me! Ill give brainliest! 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? (5 points) 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

2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is...

First, we need to distribute the 2 to the numbers in the parentheses. We will multiply them both by 2.

Now we can subtract 2y from both sides. On the left it will cancel and on the right we will be left with 2y.

Now we can just divide and...

y = 6

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
