Answer:

The wrt=itten expressions are too difficult to interpret properly. I did my best but I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to -3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.

Explanation:

"Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y"

-3x- (1/2)4y

or -3x - 2y

=====

The answer options are too garbled for me to make sense of them. Are they:

1. 2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y : 2y -5x - (1/2)2y; y -5x ?

2. 2 x Negative 2 x minus one-half 6 y : 2(-2x)- (1/2)6y; -4x - 3y ?

3. 3 x Negative 3 x minus three-fourths 4 y : 3x(-3x) - (3/4)4y; -9x -3y ?

4. one-fourth Negative 3 y minus three-fourths 7 y one-fourth minus 3 x:

(1/4)(-3y) - (3/4)7y - (1/4)(-3x); -(3/4)y -(21/4)y + (3/4)x; -(24/4)y + (3/4)x; ?

I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to -3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.
