Answer:

5 (x-y)=15

2x-2y=6 and

y-x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

first x-y=3, so you substitute x by y or y by X. anyway I substituted x by y. so x=y+3.

a. 5(x-y)

5[(y+3)-y] (first you substitute x by y+3.)

5 [y+3-y] ( then you remove the bracket.)

5[y-y+3] ( you collect like terms in the bracket.)

5 [3] (-y+y=0) so it means 5×3=15.

b. 2x-2y (like before you substitute x by y+3.)

2 (y+3)-2y

2y+6-2y (then you remove the bracket.)

2y-2y+6 (you collect like terms)

0+6=6. (because 2y-2y=0)

c. y-x

y-(y+3) ( you substitute x by y+3.)

y-y-3 (you remove the bracket)

0-3=-3 (because y-y=0)
