Answer:
Simplify the expressions:
Using Distributive property (i.e, ) on 3(x-8) terms;
we have;
3x - 24 + y +10
Here, like terms are -24 and 10.
Add like terms:
3x + y -14
The following steps in the given expression is:
First steps : Distributive the 3 to x ; 3x
Second steps: Distributive the 3 to -8 ; -24
Third steps: Add -24 + 10 ; -14
Fourth steps : 3x + y - 14
Not a step in this problems are:
Distributive the 3 to y; 3y and add y + 10; 10y
