Answer: 2x.

We are asked to solve the following:
2(x+y)-2y

This case involves both distribution and the combining of like terms, respectively.

  1. Distribute "2" among the variables in the parentheses to arrive at our new expression of:
    2x+2y-2y
  2. Combine the like terms 2y and - 2y. Our new expression looks like this:
    2x
  3. Since there are no other like terms, we are left with the final answer of: 2x.
