Question:

Simplify: (-2x-4xy) - 3(5x-y)

Solution:

Consider the following linear equation:

$(-2x-4xy)\text{ - 3(5x-y)}$

now, applying the distributive property, we obtain:

$(-2x-4xy)\text{ - 15x+3y}$

this is equivalent to:

$-2x-4xy\text{- 15x+3y}$

now, putting the similar terms together, we get:

$(-2x-15x)\text{ + 3y -4xy}$

this is equivalent to:

$-17x\text{ + 3y -4xy}$

we can conclude that the correct answer is:

$-17x\text{ + 3y -4xy}$
