Question

Simplify the question :(4−5y)−2(3.5y−8)

Answer 1

Answer:

$-12y+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(4-5y\right)-2\left(3.5y-8\right)$

Use distributive property.

$-2\left(3.5y-8\right)$

$-2\cdot \:3.5y-\left(-2\right)\cdot \:8$

$-7y+16$

$4-5y-7y+16$

Now, add like terms.

$-5y-7y=-12y$

$\:4+16=20$

$-12y+20$
