To simplify the expression 2y²(6y-1) + 3y(y-4y²), follow the distributive property to expand each term:
First, distribute 2y² to (6y-1):
2y² * 6y = 12y³ 2y² * -1 = -2y²
So, the first term becomes: 12y³ - 2y²
Next, distribute 3y to (y-4y²):
3y * y = 3y² 3y * -4y² = -12y³
So, the second term becomes: 3y² - 12y³
Now, we can combine the like terms:
(12y³ - 2y²) + (3y² - 12y³)
When adding, you can combine the like terms with the same exponent:
12y³ - 12y³ = 0 -2y² + 3y² = y²
So the simplified expression is: y² - 12y³
