Simplify the expression by
distributing, then combining like
Terms!
3(y + 10)- 2y

=y+30

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y+10)−2y

Distribute:

=(3)(y)+(3)(10)+−2y

=3y+30+−2y

Combine Like Terms:

=3y+30+−2y

=(3y+−2y)+(30)

=y+30

Y+30

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y+10)-2y

A number next to another number/set of numbers that are in parentheses means that u have to multiply by distributing the 3 to the equation in the parentheses

3 times y is 3y

3 times 10 is 30

Don't forget to add in the addition sign between the numbers

Now the equation is 3y+30-2y

Now Combine like terms

3y and negative 2y have the same variable and are both to the 1st power (even though the power isnt written and is unneccessary to write when it's just to the 1st power we know it's there and to combine like terms they have to be the same variable to the same power)

So 3y-2y= 1y

There are no other numbers to combine your 30 with so the equation is now simplified to y+30
