What is 7 (x-2y) - 4 (2x+y) in a distributed then simplify

5 (3x-2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given an expression 7 (x-2y) - 4 (2x+y).

Now, we have to simplify this expression after distribution.

So, 7 (x-2y) + 4 (2x+y)

=7x - 14y + 8x + 4y {This is the distribution. Here we have used the distributive property that, a (b+c) = ab + ac}

=15x - 10y {Separating the x and y terms}

=5 (3x-2y) {Taking 5 as common from both the terms}
