Can someone me, this is my last question i have been stuck on it for 30 min

the work of a student to solve a set of equations is shown:

equation a: y = 15 βˆ’ 2z
equation b: 2y = 3 βˆ’ 4z

step 1: βˆ’2(y) = βˆ’2(15 βˆ’ 2z) [equation a is multiplied by βˆ’2.]
2y = 3 βˆ’ 4z [equation b]
step 2: βˆ’2y = 15 βˆ’ 2z [equation a in step 1 is simplified.]
2y = 3 βˆ’ 4z [equation b]
step 3: 0 = 18 βˆ’ 6z [equations in step 2 are added.]
step 4: 6z = 18
step 5: z = 3

in which step did the student first make an error?
step1
step 2
step 3
step 4
