Answer 1

Answer:

$-5cd$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3cd - d(2c - 4) - 4d$

To get simplified expression we use order of operation PEMDA

WE start with parenthesis. Distribute -d inside the parenthesis

$-3cd - 2dc +4d - 4d$

Now we combine like terms  that has same variables

4d-4d becomes 0

Expression becomes

$-3cd - 2dc$. Both terms has same variables  so we add it

$-5cd$
