Answer:

-8x-9y

Explanation:

Hey There!

So basically this problem is asking you to simplify this expression using distributive property

The first step would be to distribute 7 into what is inside the parenthesis (2x and -3y)

2x*7=14x

-3y*7=-21y

so now we have 14x-21y + 4(3y-5x)

the next step would be to distribute 4 to what is inside the parenthesis (3y and -5x)

4*3y=12y

4*-5x=-20x

so now we have 12x-21y-20x+12y

the final step is to combine like terms

12x-20x=-8x

-21y+12y=-9y

so the simplified version of 7(2x - 3y) + 4(3y - 5x) is -8x-9y
