Question

simplify the expression. 2(-3y - 5) = 2(-3y) - 2(5) = \boxed{} y - ?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the coefficient of y

Multiply 2 and -3: \(2\times(-3)= -6\)

Step2: Calculate the constant term

Multiply 2 and 5: \(2\times5 = 10\)

Answer:

The first box is \(-6\) and the second box is \(10\), so the simplified expression is \(-6y - 10\).
