Question

please help show work! Thank you!!
-3[y-3(4y-2)-(5-y)]

Answer 1

First off you need to start distributing on the most inner parentheses so you have the
-3(4y-2) and the
-(5-y)

Answer 2

Then from expanding those equations you get -3[y-12y+6-5+y)]

Answer 3

You could then collect like terms
Then you could distribute the last -3 and have your answer.

Answer 4

is it 36y-15 ?

Answer 5

Well if you simplify this: -3[y-12y+6-5+y)] it becomes
-3(-10y +1) correct?

Answer 6

I am just looking at the insides of the parentheses.

Answer 7

I added/subtracted like terms before distributing...

Answer 8

Right which you should do, but + y -12y + y + 6 - 5
simplifies down to -10y +1
Then if you multiply by -3 you would get
30y - 3

Answer 9

okay thank you I made major mistakes when adding/subtracting like terms...don't know what I was thinking but I got it now! :)
