Answer:
B. -3 1/2y + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Our expression is: 
.
Let's first distribute out that parentheses. Remember that distribution is simply taking the sum of the product of the outside term with each of the inside terms. Here, the outside term is 1/2 and the inside terms are 4 and -2y:
Now, we have:
We want to combine like terms, which means combining all the terms with y in them:
Remember that -7/2 can be written as the mixed number -3 1/2, so our final answer is:
-3 1/2y + 2
The answer is thus B.

Answer:
B. 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this out. The Pythagorean Theorem states that for any right triangle with the shortest sides (called legs) as a and b and the longest side (called the hypotenuse) as c:
a² + b² = c²
Here, a = b = 6, so:
6² + 6² = c²
36 + 36 = c²
72 = c²
c = √72 = 6√2
Now, we see the answer is B.
However, there's a trick to solving these kinds of problems. Notice that DEF is both an isosceles triangle and a right triangle. We call these 45-45-90 triangles because those are the angles of the triangle.
One characteristic of these types of triangles is that their leg to leg to hypotenuse ratio is 1 : 1 : √2, always. We could apply that here. We see that the legs are 6, so we could find the hypotenuse simply by multiplying 6 by √2, and we would get 6√2, which is exactly the value we obtained above.
Thus, the answer is B.
