Answer 1

What is the simplified form of the expression 
15y-4(2y+6)
= 15y - 8y - 24
= 7y - 24

answer b.7y-24

Answer 2

1.First multiply 4(2y) and 4(6) which gives you (8y-24).
2.Then write out the whole problem: (15y-8y-24).
3.Subtract 15y-8y first since they have equal terms. That will give you 7y.
4.Now you have (7y-24).
