Aim :

  • We need to simplify it.

Solution :

>> −4 × (x + 3) + 3 × (y + 1)

>> -4x - 12 + 3y + 3

>> -4x + 3y - 9

Hence, simplified.

First, distribute the numbers on the outside into their respective binomials.

-4(x) - 4(3) + 3(y) + 3(1)

-4x - 12 + 3y + 3

Now, combine like terms:

-4x + 3y - 9

Once there is no more simplifying to be done, you are left with your final answer, the above equation.
