The expression 13x - 2y - 3(x + 4y) can be simplified by distributing the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
13x - 2y - 3x - 12y
Combining like terms, we get:
(13x - 3x) + (-2y - 12y)
10x - 14y
Therefore, the expression is equivalent to 10x - 14y.
Which expression is equivalent to 13x-2y-3(x+4y) with fewer terms?
