Final answer:

To simplify the expression -1/4(28x-12y), distribute the -1/4 to each term inside the parentheses and simplify.


Step-by-step explanation:

The expression -1/4(28x-12y) can be simplified using the distributive property. We distribute the -1/4 to each term inside the parentheses:

-1/4 * 28x = -7x

-1/4 * -12y = 3y

The simplified expression is then -7x + 3y.
