Answer: - 27y + 16z

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

-3y - 4(-5z + 6y) - 4z

The first step is to expand the parentheses by multiplying the terms inside with the term outside. We have

- 3y - 4 * - 5z + - 4 * 6y - 4z

- 3y + 20z - 24y - 4z

By collecting like terms, we have

- 3y - 24y + 20z - 4z

- 27y + 16z
