Answer:

1. The mistake was the sign that was put negative instead of positive.

2. y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

​In the first response box, enter the number of the step where the mistake is made.

​Step:

The mistake is on step 1: This is the distributive property, however it was distrubuted wrong since the signs were used wrong.

-4(6-y)+4=-4 does not equal  -24-4y+4=-4

The reason is because -4 x -y is not equal to -4y because negative x negative = positive. So, it's equal to +4y.

In the second response box, enter the correct solution to the problem.​

Problem: -4(6-y)+4=-4

Step 1: -24 + 4y + 4 = -4 (Distributive Property Of Equality)

Step 2: -20 + 4y = -4 (Combine Like Terms)

Step 3: 4y = 16 (Addition Property Of Equality)

Step 4: y = 4 (Division Property Of Equality)
