Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 5, left parenthesis, 7, y, plus, 3, right parenthesis, minus, 2, y−5(7y+3)−2y

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-5(7y + 3) - 2y\):

1. Distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses: \[-5 \cdot 7y - 5 \cdot 3 = -35y - 15\]

2. Now, combine this with \(-2y\): \[-35y - 15 - 2y\]

3. Combine like terms (\(-35y - 2y\)): \[-37y - 15\]

So, the simplest form of the expression is: \(-37y - 15\)
