Question

What expression is the simplest form of -(4x+y) +2(x-3y)?

Answer 1

C.
`-2x-7y`

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`-(4x+y)+2(x-3y)`. Weare asked to simplify our given expression.

Using distributive property property
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`, we will get:

`-1*4x-1*y+2*x-2*3y`

`-4x-y+2x-6y`

Now, we will combine like terms.

`-4x+2x-y-6y`

`-2x-7y`

Therefore, the simplified form of our given expression would be
`-2x-7y` and option C is the correct choice.
