Simplify explain

Hi,
Can someone explain how that we simplify
15(y - 22) to 15y + 8?

simplify 15(y - 22) to 15y + 8

Hello. Those expressions do not represent the same value.

15y – 330 is different than 15y + 8, for all values of y.

Please follow our posting guidelines. Provide the complete context of what you're working on and what you've done with it. Thank you!

We don't.

If you show us where you saw this, we can probably help you correct a misunderstanding. Or someone may just have been wrong.

Unlike the other posters I think that you can go from 15(y-22) to 15y+8. Unfortunately to do so, you'll have to make at least one mistake somewhere.

15(y-2) + 22 = 8 ?

Might the original expression have been 15(y+2)-22 = 15y+8?

We'd really like to see the original, in order to bring closure to this! If you didn't copy it wrong, someone else certainly did.

15(y-2) + 22 = 8 ?

Ooops -- see post #7 for a better suggestion.

Or, invent some new math. ?
