Question

Can someone help me with this?
Simplify:
4(3m+sn-2y)

Answer 1

12m+4ns-8y

Explanation:

4(3m+sn-2y) is your equation.

You distribute the parenthesis, which gets you:

=4·3m+4sn+4(-2y)

You will then apply the subtraction (minus) sign to plus rules:

which is +(-a)=-a

which gets you:

=4·3m+4ns-4·2y

Once you simplify, it is:

12m+4ns-8y

Answer 2

4sn+12m-8y

Explanation:

Apply the distributive property.

4 ( 3 m ) + 4 ( s n ) + 4 ( − 2 y )

Simplify

12m+4sn-8y

Move s

12m+4sn-8y

4sn+12m-8y
