Question

Simplify, y-8(y+12) + 4

NEED HELP​

Answer 1

so first distribute the 8 out then add everything together:

y-8y-96+4 = -7y-92

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Equation:}`

`\mathbf{y - 8(y + 12) + 4}`

`\huge\textbf{Solving:}`

`\mathbf{y - 8(y + 12) + 4}`

`\huge\textbf{DISTRIBUTE -8 WITHIN the}\\\\\\\huge\textbf{PARENTHESES:}`

`\mathbf{= y - 8(y) - 8(12) + 4}`

`\mathbf{= y - 8y - 96 + 4}`

`\huge\textbf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS:}`

`\mathbf{= (y - 8y) + (-96 + 4)}`

`\mathbf{= y - 8y - 96 + 4}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}`

`\mathbf{ = -7y - 92}`

`\huge\textbf{Answer:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathbf{ -7y - 92}}\huge\checkmark`
