You can put this solution on YOUR website! The basic principal is distribution, which is like compensation math.
.
Remember, 2 * 49 = 2*(50-1) = 100-2 =98,,,,,the 2 is distributed over the 50 and the 1.
.
In this case,,,6x -2(x-y),,,,,the (-2) is distributed over the (x), and the (-y)
.
6x -2(x) -2(-y)
.
6x -2x +2y
.
4x +2y
.
Note, somewhere in the example a (-) got changed
.
checking, let x=2,,y=3,,in both original and answer, 14 is total
