simplify the equation please -2+4(2y-4)

OpenStudy (steve816):

-2 + 4(2y-4) You can distribute! It would turn into -2 + 8y -16

OpenStudy (steve816):

Now, do you think you can simplify from here?

OpenStudy (shicarak):

I think so thank you

Distribute: =−2+(4)(2y)+(4)(−4) =−2+8y+−16 Combine Like Terms: =−2+8y+−16 =(8y)+(−2+−16) =8y+−18

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Answer: =8y−18

OpenStudy (shicarak):

thank you KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

no problem!

OpenStudy (shicarak):

I have another one please help \[15-2(3x+5y)\]

KjSaif (kjsaif):

ask this in another question or this would be considered spam :)

OpenStudy (steve816):

Wat a spam??? No way

OpenStudy (shicarak):

how

KjSaif (kjsaif):

A mod told me that

OpenStudy (steve816):

Well, must've been an ignorant one.
