show work and explain why you did it the way you did

The outside number 11 will be multiplied by EVERY term inside the parenthesis. This is called "distribution". 

We have the outside number 11 multiplied by the first term y to get 11*y = 11y

Then we repeat the same steps but now for the other term -2 to get 11*(-2) = -22

So 11(y-2) will become 11y-22

Final choice D) 11y-22

I took the test and I think it is 11%
