Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this correctly, you need to make sure to distribute the negative onto both terms in the second parentheses.

So fully expanded, the problem would be:

2y² + 8y -7 + 3y - 3 = ?

You can easily rearrange the terms, or just do it in your head!

It would become:

2y² + 8y +3y -7 -3

= 2y² + 11y -10

Make sure you keep the terms with different variables separate! I hope this is helpful!
