Answer:
The simplified form of the given expression is 20-12y.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
[tex](4-5y)-2(3.5y-8)[/tex]
We need to find the difference.
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]4-5y-2(3.5y)-2(-8)[/tex]
[tex]4-5y-7y+16[/tex]
Combine like terms.
[tex](4+16)+(-5y-7y)[/tex]
[tex]20-12y[/tex]
Therefore the simplified form of the given expression is 20-12y.
