MULTIPLY (4Y+2) BY 1/6
(4Y+2)(1/6)Y
(4/6y+2/6)Y
MULTIPLY THIS BY Y
4/6Y^2+2/6Y
REDUCE THE FRACTIONS
2/3Y^2+1/3Y
FACTOR OUT THE 1/3Y
1/3Y(2Y+1)

First thing here is to realize there are actually three fractions here.
Remeber anything over 1 equals itself. So re-write the 4y + 2 and the y as fractions.

since we are multiplying, there is no need for common denominators, just place all numerators and denominators into a single fraction

With this fraction I would pull a 2 out of the 4y + 2 so that we can reduce.

reduce

multiply
