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:
\(-37y - 15\)
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:
\(-37y - 15\)
