RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
yup so when you multiply anything by 0 it equals 0 so its just 0-y
OpenStudy (sambot):

we dont know that yet. is it 9.1 or 9.1a
OpenStudy (sambot):
9.1
OpenStudy (manvirk21):
It would be E. because 6*3=18
In conclusion y-18=y-18
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
lol goodjob you have to pick all of them. AND you shouldnt give immediate answers anyway
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
then should the equivalent have 9.1 in it?

i dont know
OpenStudy (sambot):
um i think so
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
it should because it has no (a) beside it
OpenStudy (sambot):
ok
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
-7y(3)-3 so fir this you know that you need to multiply then subtract the 3 so what ever the answer is it should at least have a (y) in it. :)
