Answer:
a. 32
b. 32
Explanation:
a. 12 + 4y
They gave us the value of "y" which is "5", and substitute that into the expression.
12 + 4y
12 + 4(5)
12 + 20
32
b. 4 (y + 3)
They gave us the value of "y" which is "5", and substitute that into the expression.
4 ( y + 3 )
4 ( 5 + 3)
Distributive property (multiply what is in the parenthesis by what is out of it (4))
4 * 5 + 4 * 3
20 + 12
32
