Question

Simply the following
2(2x+2y)-14x+7

Answer 1

4 y + -10 x + 7

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

2 (2 x + 2 y) - 14 x + 7

2 (2 y + 2 x) = 4 y + 4 x:

(4 y + 4 x) - 14 x + 7

Grouping like terms, 4 y + 4 x - 14 x + 7 = 4 y + (4 x - 14 x) + 7:

4 y + (4 x - 14 x) + 7

4 x - 14 x = -10 x:

Answer: 4 y + -10 x + 7
