Answer 2

Answer:

$28x+8y+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2\left(3x+12y-5-17x-16y+4\right) -> =-2\left(-14x-4y-1\right)$

$\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses}$

$=\left(-2\right)\left(-14x\right)+\left(-2\right)\left(-4y\right)+\left(-2\right)\left(-1\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:minus-plus\:rules}\\\left(-a\right)\left(-b\right)=ab\\=2\cdot \:14x+2\cdot \:4y+2\cdot \:1\\=28x+8y+2$
