After distributing i got -1+30-5y
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yes, that's correct.
Now combine like terms.
OpenStudy (timinthor):
So then combine like terms right? Then you would have 29-5y

Oh wait, there isnt an answer that looks like that, these are the answers
A.
–y + 5
B.
–y + 29
C.
–5y + 29
D.
–5y – 31
OpenStudy (igreen):
Just switch the terms around.
It's the same.
\(\sf 29 - 5y = -5y + 29\)
Understand?
