Question

Please simplify with a explanation!~

Answer 1

-4y + 20

Explanation:

4(-y+5)

What we need to do here is get rid of the parentheses, which can be achieved through multiplication.

This is another way of saying 4 times -y plus 4 times 5.

Let's break the the parentheses down into 2 separate formulas.

4(-y) and 4(5)

Now we can multiply these two together to get -4y and +20. When combined, we get -4y +20.
