Question

Expression 10y-5+2(4y+7) b. Rearrange to see like terms 10y+8y-5+14 c. Distributive property 10y-5+8y+14 d. Combine terms 18y+9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 10y - 5 + 2(4y + 7) \), the correct order of steps is:

1. A. Original Expression: \( 10y - 5 + 2(4y + 7) \)
2. C. Distributive property: \( 10y - 5 + 8y + 14 \)
3. B. Rearrange to see like terms: \( 10y + 8y - 5 + 14 \)
4. D. Combine terms: \( 18y + 9 \)

So, the correct order is: A, C, B, D.
