Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: 10, y, minus, 6, left parenthesis, minus, 5, y, plus, 2, right parenthesis10y−6(−5y+2)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 10y - 6(-5y + 2) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-6\) inside the parentheses:
\[
10y - 6(-5y) - 6(2)
\]
This becomes:
\[
10y + 30y - 12
\]

2. Combine like terms:
\[
(10y + 30y) - 12 = 40y - 12
\]

So, the expression simplified in simplest terms is:
\[
40y - 12
\]
