Answer:

4x +4y -31

Explanation:

You want the simplified form of 9y - 3 (y + 1) - 2y + 4 (x - 7).

Simplified form

The expression is simplified by eliminating parentheses using the distributive property, then combining like terms.

9y - 3 (y + 1) - 2y + 4 (x - 7)

= 9y -3y -3 -2y +4x -28

= 4x +(9-3-2)y +(-3-28)

= 4x +4y -31
