Which expression is equivalent to − 3 4 ( 8 y − 12 ) + 1 5 ( 15 y − 30 ) ? A. –3y – 15 B. –3y + 3 C. –2y – 12 D. y – 3

Respuesta :

Given:

The expression is

[tex]-\dfrac{3}{4}(8y-12)+\dfrac{1}{5}(15y-30)[/tex]

To find:

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-\dfrac{3}{4}(8y-12)+\dfrac{1}{5}(15y-30)[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]=-\dfrac{3}{4}(8y)-\dfrac{3}{4}(-12)+\dfrac{1}{5}(15y)+\dfrac{1}{5}(-30)[/tex]

[tex]=-6y+9+3y-6[/tex]

On combining like terms, we get

[tex]=(-6y+3y)+(9-6)[/tex]

[tex]=-3y+3[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.
