The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression `(4 - y) - 2(2y - 3)`, we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Here are the steps: ### Step 1: Distribute the -2 We start by distributing the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses `(2y - 3)`. \[ (4 - y) - 2(2y - 3) = (4 - y) - (4y - 6) \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression Now, we rewrite the expression by removing the parentheses, taking care to change the signs appropriately. \[ 4 - y - 4y + 6 \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms Next, we combine the constant terms and the terms with `y`. - Combine the constant terms: \(4 + 6 = 10\) - Combine the `y` terms: \(-y - 4y = -5y\) Putting it all together, we have: \[ 10 - 5y \] ### Final Answer Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ 10 - 5y \]
