Question

Simplify the question :(4−5y)−2(3.5y−8)

Answer 1

`-12y+20`

Explanation:

`\left(4-5y\right)-2\left(3.5y-8\right)`

Use distributive property.

`-2\left(3.5y-8\right)`

`-2\cdot \:3.5y-\left(-2\right)\cdot \:8`

`-7y+16`

`4-5y-7y+16`

Now, add like terms.

`-5y-7y=-12y`

`\:4+16=20`

`-12y+20`
