Please help! What’s the error in line 1 ?

Answer:
When you add variables with exponents, you do not add the exponents together.
The error -> [tex]y^2+2y^2=3y^4[/tex]
In this case, they have added the exponent [tex]2+2=4[/tex].
However, you do not add it. Instead, the answer should be [tex]3y^2[/tex]
