Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

2(x-y)

You multiple 2 first with first number (x) then you rewrite the sign (minus) then you multiple 2 with second number (y)

2*x-2*y which is the same as 2x-2y

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

So for the expression 2(x-y) the 2 is on the outside, meaning it multiplies everything on the inside of the parentheses, so x becomes 2x and y becomes 2y, making the 2 expressions equal.
