Question 66469
Please help me answer tis Equation: 8y(4-1) +2y - 6
Thanks for your time!!


An equation needs to have an equal sign somewhere.  This doesn't have an equal sign so it's not an equation, it's an expression.  Now we can simplify this expression if that's what is called for:

8y(4-1) +2y - 6  rewriting , we get:

8y(3)+2y-6
24y+2y-6
26y-6 or 

2(13y-3)


Hope this helps----ptaylor
