Choice C

which is equivalent to

===============================================

Explanation:

The exponent for the y term inside the parenthesis is 1/6 and then that expression is raised to the 3rd power. The exponents multiply to (1/6)*3 = 3/6 = 1/2

This means

Having an exponent of 1/2 is the same as applying the square root, so,

Meaning,

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
