Answer:
8x +6y -28
Step-by-step explanation:
The outside factor applies to each inside term, so the equivalent expression is ...
-8(-x -3/4y +7/2) = 8x +6y -28
Applying the distributive property once again, we can also write the equivalent expression ...
= 2(4x +3y -14)

There are an infinite number of other equivalent expressions. The problem statement is non-specific as to the acceptable form.
Dear Ajtocute, let's have x=9 Multiply 7 by 9 to get 63. Then, you divide 63 by 7 to get back to 9. You just cancel out the multiplication with division.
Put the answer choice numbers where the x’s are in the equation and then solve. The ones that are equal to 0 once solved will be your answer
I might be wrong but don’t you need two equations to do the elimination process?
