Answer:
-7y + 4x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to simplify the expression removing parentheses
Simplify -7(y - 2): Distribute the -7 to each term in (y-2)
-7 * y = (-7 * 1)y = -7y
-7 * -2 = (-7 * -2) = 14
Our Total expanded term is -7y + 14
Simplify x(9 - 5): Distribute the x to each term in (9-5)
x * 9 = (1 * 9)x = 9x
x * -5 = (1 * -5)x = -5x
Our Total expanded term is 9x-5x
Our updated term to work with is -7y + 14 + 9x - 5x
Evaluate the y terms:
-7y ← There is only one y term
Evaluate the x terms:
9x + - 5x
(9 - 5)x
4x
Evaluate the constants:
14 ← There is only one constant
Combining all like terms, we get:
-7y + 4x + 14
Analyze the 3 terms of the polynomial -7y + 4x + 14
