Combine like terms. What is a simpler form of the expression. -3(-y-2)+5y
8y-6
To combine like terms in the expression -3(-y-2)+5y, we first need to distribute the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses.
Distributing -3 to -y and -2, we get:
-3 * -y = 3y
-3 * -2 = 6
So the expression becomes:
3y + 6 + 5y
Now, we can combine the like terms 3y and 5y by adding their coefficients:
3y + 5y = 8y
Finally, we add the constant term 6:
8y + 6
Therefore, a simpler form of the expression -3(-y-2)+5y is 8y + 6.
