Question

“Use the properties to rewrite this expression with the fewest terms possible:

Answer 1

Answer:

- 4x + 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 3 to the expression inside the parenthesis.

2 - 4x + 3 (y - 4) + 10

2 - 4x + 3y - 12 + 10

Bring the - 12 + 10 next to the 2 at the beginning of the expression.

2 - 12 + 10 - 4x + 3y

Add or subtract like terms (2 - 12 + 10 should cancel out).

0 - 4x + 3y

Answer:

- 4x + 3y
