Soo-Jung used the subtraction property of equality to solve an equation for y Which equation could be the one that Soo-Jung solved?

Answer
A
2 times 4 y is equal to 12
B
y plus 4 is equal to 12
C
4 y is equal to 12
D
y over 4 is equal to 12

Explanation

The subtraction property of equality means subtracting the same number from both sides to isolate the variable. In y + 4 = 12, subtracting 4 from both sides gives y = 8. The other equations would require multiplication or division to isolate y, not subtraction.
