2y+14=4y+14
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by y+7.
2y+14-4y=14
Subtract 4y from both sides.
-2y+14=14
Combine 2y and -4y to get -2y.
-2y=14-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
-2y=0
Subtract 14 from 14 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -2 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
