Simplify each algebraic expression. \(6-5[8-(2 y-4)]\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified algebraic expression is \(10y-54\).

Step by step solution

01

Apply BIDMAS Rule

Start by simplifying the expression inside the inner-most brackets. So, \(8-(2 y-4)\) simplifies to \(8-2y+4\).
02

Continue Simplifying Expression

Afterwards the interior brackets, \(5[8-(2 y-4)] \), simplify to \(5[12-2y] = 60-10y.\)
03

Final Simplification

Finally, substitute this result back into the main expression. This results in the expression \(6-5[8-(2 y-4)]\) simplifying to \(6-60+10y\), which then simplifies to \(-54+10y\) or \(10y-54\).
