Question

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. 4\left(1.75y-3.5\right)+1.25y4(1.75y−3.5)+1.25y

Answer 1

Answer:

8.25y + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$4\left(1.75y-3.5\right)+1.25y$

We are to simplify it as shown

Open the parenthesis

4(1.75y) - 4(3.5) + 1.25y

7y - 14 + 1.25y

Collect the like terms

7y + 1.25y - 14

8.25y + 14

Hence the required expression is 8.25y + 14
