Answer

\[5y-13\].

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression\[3\left( 4y-5 \right)-\left( 7y-2 \right)\]. Simplify it as follows: First apply the distributive law and get, \[3\left( 4y-5 \right)-\left( 7y-2 \right)=12y-15-7y+2\] Add the like terms, \[\begin{align} & 3\left( 4y-5 \right)-\left( 7y-2 \right)=12y-15-7y+2 \\ & =5y-13 \end{align}\] Hence, the given algebraic expression simplified to\[5y-13\].
