Can someone answer this step by step to help me understand how to get my answer thank you

− 3 ( − 4 y + 3 ) + 7 y

Answer 1

The answer is 19y – 9.

First, distribute the -3 to ( -4y + 3 ). So:
= ( 12y – 9 ) + 7y

Then, combine like terms. In this case, the like terms are 12y and 7y. So:
= 12y – 9 + 7y
= 19y – 9
