Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression 6(y - 4) + 7 and select the correct option.

Solution

The expression in the image is 6(y4)+76(y - 4) + 7, and we are asked to simplify it and select the correct option from the choices given.

Let's simplify step by step:

  1. Distribute the 66 to both terms inside the parentheses: 6(y4)=6y246(y - 4) = 6y - 24 So the expression becomes: 6y24+76y - 24 + 7

  2. Combine the constants 24+7-24 + 7: 24+7=17-24 + 7 = -17 Therefore, the expression simplifies to: 6y176y - 17

The correct option is 6y176y - 17.
