Answer:

Equivalent Expression of given Expression is 84x - 16y - 10.6.

Explanation:

Given Expression is :

2(14x-3y+28x+12.2-5y-17.5)

We have to find: Equivalent Expression

To find Equivalent expression we simplify the given expression.

Consider,

2(14x-3y+28x+12.2-5y-17.5)

Group like terms,

$\implies2(14x+28x-3y-5y+12.2-17.5)$

Now solve like terms,

$\implies2(42x-8y-5.3)$

Now, using Distributive Property

$\implies2*42x-2*8y-2*5.3$

$\implies84x-16y-10.6$

Therefore, Equivalent Expression of given Expression is 84x - 16y - 10.6.
