Question 1031136
Original Problem: -2(x-2y-3). I'm assuming your teacher wants you to simplify this by distributing. 


Simplified Final Answer: <font color = red>-2x+4y+6</font>


Step by Step Explanation:


The -2 on the outside of the parenthesis is going to be multiplied by EVERY term inside the parenthesis. So that means we will have

-2 times x = -2x
-2 times -2y = (-2 times -2)y = +4y = 4y
-2 times -3 = +6 = 6


So after we distribute the -2 through to the terms inside, we get this final answer <font color = red>-2x+4y+6</font> since we would then add up the products we got beforehand.
