Question

Perform the indicated operation(s) and simplify.6y - [2y + 5(y – 4) + 6]

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression

`\begin{gathered} 6y-\mleft[2y+5\mleft(y-4\mright)+6\mright]=6y-\lbrack2y+5y-20+6\rbrack \\ =6y-2y-5y+20-6 \\ =-y+14 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the result of the operations is:

`-y+14`
