1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ 2(y + 4) = 16 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the term with \(y\): \[ y + 4 = 8 \] (This is the missing term you need.)

  3. Now, to isolate \(y\), we need to subtract 4 from both sides: \[ y + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4 \] \[ y = 4 \]

So, \(y = 4\).

Here are the missing parts filled in:

  • Missing term: \(y + 4 = 8\)
  • Missing description: "Divide both sides by 2"

The final answer is: \[ y = 4 \]
