Question

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?

−(12y+14)−(12y+14)

−14(1+2y)−14(1+2y)

14(2y−1)14(2y−1)

−2(14y−18)−2(14y−18)

2(18−14y)

Answer 1

The expression −(12y+14)−(12y+14) is equivalent to -24y - 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression −(12y+14)−(12y+14) can be simplified by applying the distributive property to each term in the expression.

Step 1: Distribute the negative sign to each term within the parentheses by multiplying -1 to both terms.

−(12y+14)−(12y+14) = -1 times 12y - 1 times 14 - 1 times 12y - 1 times 14

Step 2: Combine like terms.

-12y - 14 - 12y - 14 = -24y - 28

Therefore, the expression −(12y+14)−(12y+14) is equivalent to -24y - 28\

Answer 2

Assuming that the given expression is this one:
−(12y+14)−(12y+14)

So, when you simplify it, you will get
- 24y - 28

It seems, that there is none in the following choices that is shown above satisfies the answer. Nevertheless, you just to add or subtract. Just remember the PEMDAS rule.
