Just trying to simplify?

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

First step should be to distribute the negative in front of the innermost parentheeses

OpenStudy (lacris):

I already did that in the picture above, so it becomes -6 +3y-7x?

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

yup, sorry I couldnt really read it too well

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Now just multiply everything by 5

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Do you need to solve for y?

OpenStudy (lacris):

what about the 4x? What happens to it?

OpenStudy (lacris):

no I need to simplify :>
