Question

What's the equivalent expression for 6(7 - 3y) + 6(y+ 1) ^^ I'm stuck On this one ugh! help?

Answer 1

Answer: 47 - 12y OR -12y + 47

6(7 - 3y) + 6(y + 1)                Distributive Property*
42 - 18y + 6(y + 1)                Distributive Property*
42 - 18y + 6y + 6                 Combine like terms
42 - 12y + 6                         Combine like terms
47 - 12y                                Answer!
-12y + 47                              Answer!

*Distributive Property
Ex. 7(y - 11) = (7)(y) + (7)(-11) = 7y - 77
      -(y - 9) = (-1)(y) + (-1)(-9) = -y + 9

Answer 2

6(7 - 3y) + 6(y+ 1) 
= 42 - 18y + 6y + 6
= -12y + 48

hope it helps
