I'll do the first two to get you started

# 1

%287%2B2y%29%28-3%29

-3%287%2B2y%29

-3%287%29-3%282y%29

-21-6y

So the answer is -21-6y
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2

%28-5q-7%294

4%28-5q-7%29

4%28-5q%29%2B4%28-7%29

-20q-28

and the answer for #2 is -20q-28
