Answer:
The last option, D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, so we are given this expression that is not simplified. First, we need to apply the distributive property. Since it is -2(y+4) or -2 times y plus 4.
We need to multiply -2 by each term inside the parentheses.
-2 times y is -2y and -2 times 4 is -8.
Remember, a positive times a negative is always negative.
Now we have 8y-2y-8.
We can simplify this even more by combining like terms.
8y and 2y are like terms because they have the same variable stuck to it. 8y-2y is 6y.
We can't combine like terms with -8 because -8 doesn't even have a variable. It is not coefficient, it is just a constant.
Therefore, the simplified algebraic expression is 6y-8.
Hope this helps!
