The given expression is
16(30x−24y)−18(32x−16y) = ?
The first term = 16 ( 30x - 24y ) = 480x - 384y
The second term = -18 ( 32x - 16y) = -576x + 288y
Add the two terms:
( 480x - 384y ) + ( -576x + 288y)
= ( 480x - 576x) + ( -384y + 288y)
= -96x -96y
= -96 ( x + y)
The equivalent expression is [-96x -96y] OR -96(x+y)
