Q. Simplify to create an equivalent expression.6(7−3y)+6(y+1)Choose 1 answer:(A) 12y+48(B) −12y+43(C) −12y+48(D) −12y−48
Distribute 6 into the parentheses: First, distribute the 6 into the parentheses for both terms.6×7=42 and 6×(−3y)=−18y for the first term.6×y=6y and 6×1=6 for the second term.So, the expression becomes 42−18y+6y+6.
Combine like terms: Next, combine like terms, which are −18y and 6y.−18y+6y=−12y.So, the expression now is 42+(−12y)+6.
Add the constant terms: Finally, add the constant terms 42 and 6.42+6=48.So, the simplified expression is −12y+48.
