To simplify the expression \( 17y - 10 + 3(2y + 1) \), we can follow these steps in order:

  1. Distribute the 3 into the parentheses:
    \( 3(2y + 1) = 6y + 3 \)

  2. Rewrite the expression with the distributed terms:
    \( 17y - 10 + 6y + 3 \)

  3. Combine like terms:
    \( (17y + 6y) + (-10 + 3) = 23y - 7 \)

So, the correct order of steps would be:

  1. Distribute the 3 into the parentheses
  2. Rewrite the expression with the distributed terms
  3. Combine like terms
