① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{4} $ by $ \left( y-3\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{4} \cdot \left( y-3\right) = 4y-12 $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( y+4\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( y+4\right) = 2y+8 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{4y} \color{red}{-12} + \color{blue}{2y} + \color{red}{8} = \color{blue}{6y} \color{red}{-4} $$ |
