Question

(4−5y)−2(3. 5y−8)

Question

Find the difference.

(4−5y)−2(3. 5y−8) =

Answer 1

4-5y-7y+16
The answer is -12y+20

Answer 2

20 - 12y

Explanation:

• Multiply each term of the polynomial (3.5y - 8) by (-2).

4 - 5y - 2(3.5y -8) = 4 - 5y - 2*3.5y + 2*8

= 4 - 5y - 7y + 16

= 4 + 16 - 5y - 7y

• Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power.

= 20 - 12y
