Question

What is a simpler form of the expression? Show all steps -3(-4y+3)+7y

Answer 1

Answer:

19y-9

Step-by-step explanation:

apply distributive property

-3(-4y)-3 x 3 + 7y

12y - 3 x 3 + 7y

12y - 9 + 7y

add 12y to 7y

19y-9

Answer 2

-3(-4y + 3) + 7y        Distribute -3 into (-4y + 3)

(-3)(-4y) + (-3)3 + 7y    (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

12y - 9 + 7y    Combine like terms(terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are only 12y and 7y because the have the same variable of y and an exponent of 1

19y - 9         (this is as far as you can simplify)
