4(y-3)+8y
Step 1: Distribute the 4 to both the y and the 3.
So it becomes 4y-12+8y.
Step 2: Combine like terms. Since there are only y's that need combining, the final answer is 4y+8y-12= 12y-12=12(y-1)
Hope that helps!

1. Distribute: 4(y-3) = 4y - 12
2. Then add the 8y, so 4y - 12 +8y = 12y - 12

In order to simplify the equasion, you would first multiply out the 4(y-3), which would be 4y-12.
The equasion would then be : 4y-12+8y
The next step would be to add the y components meaning
4y-12+8y= 12y-12
12y-12 would be the simplification.

4(y-3)+8y
4y-12+8y (multiply 4 by each figure in the parenthesis)
12y -12 (add the common terms... 4y and 8y)
thats it if you are simplifying...i think.. .. or you might be able to divide the whole thing by one and have y-1.... lets see
12y-12
12=12y
y=1
1y-1
1y=1
yeah... you can simplify it all the way down to y-1.

distribute the 4 into the parentheses.
4y-12+8y
now combine like terms
12y-12
