Question

What is 7(x-2y)-4(2x+y) in a distributed then simplify

Answer 1

Answer:

5(3x-2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given an expression 7 (x-2y) - 4 (2x+y).

Now, we have to simplify this expression after distribution.

So, 7(x-2y)+4 (2x+y)

=7x -14y +8x +4y {This is the distribution. Here we have used the distributive property that, a(b+c) =ab +ac}

=15x -10y {Separating the x and y terms}

=5(3x-2y) {Taking 5 as common from both the terms}
