D?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, just take it one step at a time what do you get when you simpify 5(6-y)? hint: a(b-c) = a*b - a*c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30-y

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, you're very close remember to distribute the 5 to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30-5y??

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, so far we have -1 + 30 - 5y so, what do you get when you simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-y+29

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, remember the 5y doesn't change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5y+29
