Question

Simplify 2y (3-x) + 7 (x-2y)

Answer 1

The first step for solving this expression is to distribute 2y through the first parenthesis.
6y - 2xy + 7(x - 2y)
Now distribute 7 through the second set of parenthesis.
6y - 2xy + 7x - 14y
Lastly,, collect the like terms with y.
-8y - 2xy + 7x
Since we cannot simplify any further,, -8y - 2xy + 7x is the correct answer to your question.

Answer 2

Hi there!
Let's simplify step by step.



`2y(3 - x) + 7(x - 2y) =`
First we work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).


`2y * 3 + 2y * - x + 7 * x + 7 * - 2y = \\ 6y - 2xy + 7x - 14y =`
Finally we collect the common terms.


`- 2xy + 7x - 8y`
