Question

Translate and simplify the product of - 26 and the difference of x and yI think the answer is -26(x-y) but wanted to check

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} -26(x-y)\text{ Translation} \\ -26x+26y\text{ Simplified Version} \end{gathered}`

1) To translate into a mathematical expression, " The product of -26 and the difference of x and y" we can write out as product this way:

`-26(x-y)=-26x+26y`

2) Hence, -26x +26y it's a simplified version of -26(x-y)
