Question

$$( 40 y - 13 ) - ( 2 y + 9 ) + 15$$

Evaluate

$38y-7$

Solution Steps

To find the opposite of $2y+9$, find the opposite of each term.

$$40y-13-2y-9+15$$

Combine $40y$ and $-2y$ to get $38y$.

$$38y-13-9+15$$

Subtract $9$ from $-13$ to get $-22$.

$$38y-22+15$$

Add $-22$ and $15$ to get $-7$.

$$38y-7$$
