y+4=4-2y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2-y.
y+4+2y=4
Add 2y to both sides.
3y+4=4
Combine y and 2y to get 3y.
3y=4-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3y=0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 3 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
