it's B
Simplifying
-2(-1y + -3) + 4y
Reorder the terms:
-2(-3 + -1y) + 4y
(-3 * -2 + -1y * -2) + 4y
(6 + 2y) + 4y
Combine like terms: 2y + 4y = 6y
6 + 6y
Much appreciated gentlemen!
-2(-y - 3) +4y = 2y +6+4y =6y + 6
To simplify the expression -2(-y - 3) + 4y, we will distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses.
First, distribute -2 to -y:
-2 * -y = 2y
Next, distribute -2 to -3:
-2 * -3 = 6
Now, the expression becomes:
2y + 6 + 4y
Combine like terms:
2y + 4y + 6
This becomes:
6y + 6
Therefore, the answer is B. 6y + 6
