Answer:
b. 28x + 8y +2
Explanation:
you need to distribute the -2 to all the numbers inside parentheses and then combine like terms.
-2*3x= -6x
-2*12y= -24y
-2*-5= 10 (remember neg times neg = pos)
-2*17= 34x
-2*-16y=32y
-2*4= -8
Now combine like terms
34x-6x= 28x
32y-24y=8y
10-8=2
Write the expression: 28x + 8y +2
