Question

Please help me simplify the expression on number 19!!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

First you have to do the multiplication

y+4+3(y+2) Use the distributive property to multiply 3(y+2)

3 times y equals 3y and 3 times 2 equals 6, so,

3(y+2)=3y+6 Put it into the equation...

y+4+3y+6 Now add like terms.(I like to gether the like terms together before adding.) y+3y +4+6

y is 1y, so y+3y=4y and 4+6=10

So, y+3y+4+6=4y+10

y+4+3(y+2)=4y+10

Answer 2

We can start off by using the distribution method:

y + 4 + 3(y + 2)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3:

y + 4 + 3*y + 3*2

= y + 4 + 3y + 6

Simplify:

4y + 10
