Answer 1

Given the expression :

`-2y-8+4y`

Simplify the given expression, the result will be :

`-2y-8+4y=2y-8`

Simplify the given options:

`\begin{gathered} -2\mleft(y+4\mright)+4y \\ =-2y-8+4y \\ =2y-8 \end{gathered}`

The second option is :

`\begin{gathered} 4\mleft(-2+y\mright)-2y \\ =-8+4y-2y \\ =2y-8 \end{gathered}`

so, the answer is :

The given expression is equivalent to the two options
