Question

I'm confused about one step, in
4-3[(5-3y)/2]y, does it equal
4-[(15-9y)-2]y or
4-(15+9y)-2]y ?

I'm just a little confused about what the minus sign does.

Answer 1

the question is
\(\large 4- 3 [\dfrac{(5-3y)}{2}]\)
?

Answer 2

Oh, sorry, I think this would be a little clearer:\[4 - 3y(\frac{ 5-3y }{ 2 })\]

Answer 3

4 is attacked to the same fraction, but I'm not worried about that part.

Answer 4

ok, so
you're worried about this part only
\(-3 (5-3y)\)
right ?

Answer 5

Yeah

Answer 6

i see that you are distributing +3 and not -3 because your - sigh remains out side only
so,
