Answer 2

Answer:

$8.25y-14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$4(1.75y-3.5)+1.25y$

To find an equivalent expression, we first need to apply distributive property, as follows

$4(1.75y-3.5)+1.25y\\4(1.75y)-4(3.5)+1.25y$

Then, we solve operations, first products and then sums and subtractions

$4(1.75y)-4(3.5)+1.25y\\7y-14+1.25y\\8.25y-14$

Therefore, an equivalen expression is $8.25y-14$
