Question

Using the distributive property simplify the expression
-2(5y + 6) + 3 - 5y

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{-15y-9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to use the distributive property of $\displaystyle a(b+c)=ab+ac$.

First, expand.

$\displaystyle -2(5y+6)$

$-2*5=-10$

$\displaystyle -2*6=-12$

$\displaystyle -10y-12$

$\displaystyle -10y-12+3-5y$

Next, solve.

$\displaystyle -10-12+3-5=\boxed{-15y-9}$

In conclusion, the correct answer is -15y-9.
