Answer 2

Answer:

$-12x+12y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$-\frac{3}{5} (20x-20y)$

TO remove the parenthesis, we need to multiply each term within them by each term on the outside of the parenthesis. Then, we can simplify our answer..

$(-\frac{3}{5} )(20x)-(-\frac{3}{5} )(20y)\\\\-12x+12y$
