To simplify the expression \(-2(-4x + 5xy - 12v) + x + xy - 2v\), let's break it down step by step:
-
Distribute \(-2\) across \(-4x + 5xy - 12v\): \[ -2(-4x) + -2(5xy) + -2(-12v) = 8x - 10xy + 24v \]
-
Now add \(x + xy - 2v\) to the result: \[ 8x - 10xy + 24v + x + xy - 2v \]
-
Combine like terms:
- For \(x\) terms: \(8x + x = 9x\)
- For \(xy\) terms: \(-10xy + xy = -9xy\)
- For \(v\) terms: \(24v - 2v = 22v\)
So, the final result is: \[ 9x - 9xy + 22v \]
It seems the operations were simplified incorrectly in the original simplification where the coefficient of \(xy\) should be \(-9\) instead of \(-11\).
Thus, the correct answer is b) no.
