Question

Multiply out the brackets and simplify:
10 - 3(4y + 2)

Answer 1

10 - 3(4y + 2)

= 10 - 12y - 6

= 4 - 12y

Answer 2

Explanation

Our task is to simplify the following:

`\sf{10-3(4y+2)}`

First, use the distributive property:

`\sf{10-12y-6}`

Combine like terms:

`\sf{10-6-12y}`

`\sf{4-12y}`

This is our answer.
