a. 4y−12
b. −4y−12
c. 4y+13

Answer 1

8 - 4·(-y + 5)

As you already know, in order to find the equivalent expression to our already given one, we have to simplify it first :)

8 +4y - 20

**Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive!!**

Add like terms.

4y + (8 - 20)

Simplify.

4y + (-12)

Get rid of parenthesis.

4y - 12

Our answer is a. 4y - 12

Answer 2

Answer :-

Given Expression :-

8 - 4 ( - y + 5)

To Find :-

It's Equivalent Expression.

Solution :-

To Find it's equivalent expression, we have to simplify it. So, let's simplify it :-

$\implies{\sf{8 - 4 (- y + 5)}}$

$\implies{\sf{8 + 4y - 20}}$

Add The like terms ;

$\implies{\sf{4y - 12}}$

So, the correct Answer is :-

$\boxed{\sf{(a)\ 4y - 12}}$
