The answer is 9y-8
Because u need to distribute which means multiply the 9 times what’s in the parentheses which in this case is y-2 and then bring down the equation and sum(add or subtract) up all the number that don’t have a variable.. in this case y is the variable..

Hope this helps :)

This law is sometimes called the grouping property. as you can see, regardless of how the numbers are grouped, the answer is still 13. the associative law of multiplication is similar to the same law for addition. it says that no matter how you group numbers you are multiplying together, you will get the same answer.
