There are two kinds of expressions in the choices:

  • factored and simplified

Let's find the equivalent expression:

  • 20 + 8y - 9y - 21

Factored one:

  • 20 + 8y - 9y - 21 =
  • 4(5 + 2y) - 3(3y + 7)

The matching choice is D

Simplified:

  • 20 + 8y - 9y - 21 =
  • 20 - 21 + 8y - 9y =
  • - y - 1 =
  • - (y + 1)

The matching choice is E
