Question

Which expression is equivalent to 60 - 3y - 9?

A: 3(17 - y)

B: 3(20 - y) -3

C: 17(3 - y)

D: 20(3 -3y) -9

Answer 1

the answer has to be 3(17-y)

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure about that cause what I did at first is subtract the numbers.

60-3y-9

=51-3y

factor our 3 from the expression.

3(17-y)

Answer 2

option A

Explanation:

the expression given is equal 60-3y-9= -3y+51

The option A doing the distributive property will give you the same answer

3(17) and 3(-Y) = 51 - 3y
