Question

Which expression is equivalent to 3(8+4y) - 7y? A. 29y B. 24+5y C. -3y+24 D. 21y

Answer 1

Hello! First off, let's do the distributive property. Multiply 3 by the terms in the parenthesis. 3 * 8 is 24. 3 * 4y is 12y. That makes 24 + 12y - 7y. Now, let's combine like terms. 12y + (-7y) is 5y. No other terms can be combined, so the expression is simplified to 24 + 5y. Therefore, the answer is B.

Answer 2

IHey there! :D

3(8+4y)-7y

Distribute the 3. 

24+12y-7y

24+5y <=== "B" is the best answer.

I hope this helps!
