Question

combing like terms? 4(1.75y-3.5)+1.25y

Answer 1

First you gotta distribute.
4 (1.75y - 3.5) + 1.25y
4 * 1.75 y = 7
4* (-3.5) = (-14)

7y - 14 + 1.25y
Combine like terms
8.25y - 14

Answer 2

Answer:

8.25y-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $4(1.75y-3.5)+1.25y$

Distribute 4 over the parenthesis

$4\cdot1.75y+4\cdot(-3.5)+1.25y\\\\=7y-14+1.25y$

Now. group the like terms

$(7y+1.25y)-14$

Finally combine the like terms

$8.25y-14$

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8.25y-14
