Question

Simplify the following expression using distributive property and then combine like terms 5(y+6)-4(1-y)?

Answer 1

What did you get after distributing?

Answer 2

Multiply 5 by both y and 6. So 5*y + 5*6.
For the next one do the same thing, 4*1 - 4*y.
Now we have 5y+30-4+4y.
The y terms can be combined, and 30 and -4 can. So 9y-26.
