Question

Find the difference. (4−5y)−2(3.5y−8)

Answer 1

Answer:

-4·(3y-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-12y + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you simplify each term:

apply the distributive property:

4 - 5y - 2 (3.5y) - 2 x -8

Multiply 3.5 by -2:

4 - 5y - 2 (3.5y) - 2 x -8

Multiply -2 by -8:

4 - 5y - 7y +16

Next, we simplify by adding terms:

Add 4 + 16:

-5y - 7y + 20

Subtract 7y from 5y:

-12y + 20

Hence the simplified form is -12y + 20
