Question 2 is 3x+12
Answered by jess
1. is right and 2. Simplifying
5x + 6(x + -2) + -8(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
5x + 6(-2 + x) + -8(x + -3)
5x + (-2 * 6 + x * 6) + -8(x + -3)
5x + (-12 + 6x) + -8(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
5x + -12 + 6x + -8(-3 + x)
5x + -12 + 6x + (-3 * -8 + x * -8)
5x + -12 + 6x + (24 + -8x)

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 24 + 5x + 6x + -8x

Combine like terms: -12 + 24 = 12
12 + 5x + 6x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + 6x = 11x
12 + 11x + -8x

Combine like terms: 11x + -8x = 3x
12 + 3x

Thanks for the tip, I'll really try to pay more attention in the next semester and grasp the taught lessons. By the way, I'm only two questions away from finishing the test so I'll post the answers in a bit to show if you were right or not :)

You were correct!!
Answered by Ms. Sue
Please do not post these answers. Jiskha is a help board, not a cheat board. Besides your Connections teachers do not allow students to share test answers.
