Question

8(2-2y)-(3+3y)

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression step-by-step:

1. Distribute the 8 to the terms inside the first parentheses:
\[
8(2 - 2y) = 8 \cdot 2 - 8 \cdot 2y = 16 - 16y
\]

2. Now, distribute the negative sign in front of the second parentheses:
\[
-(3 + 3y) = -3 - 3y
\]

3. Now combine the two results:
\[
16 - 16y - 3 - 3y
\]

4. Combine like terms:
- For the constant terms: \(16 - 3 = 13\)
- For the \(y\) terms: \(-16y - 3y = -19y\)

Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
13 - 19y
\]
