Answer:

$\sf 2y-9x$

Explanation:

Hi There Student! Let me help you out on this question.

________________________________________________________

In this problem, we are given an expression
$\longmapsto\pmb{2y+3(x-4x)}$ , and asked to simplify it.

↪

First, we can perform the operation inside the parentheses, x-4x:

$\longmapsto\sf 2y+3(-3x)}$ .

Now we can multiply 3 times -3x:

$\longmapsto\sf 2y-9x$

And that is our final answer, because 2y and -9x are not like terms.

Hope that this helped! Have a good day ahead.

Best Wishes!
