Z[4(x+y) -4(3x-5)]

can you tell me how to do this problem.  Simplify thank you.  

Deb D.

I don't believe that this is the correct answer.  what happened to the 12x?  if you distribute the Z to all elements it does not negate the 12x?  Please explain further.  Also if the Z was a 2 how would you get the answer in that case.  Thanks.  I appreciate.
