5( 7x - 2) - 14x + 4

3 answers

To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations.

First, let's distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5(7x - 2) = 35x - 10

Now, let's simplify the expression:

35x - 10 - 14x + 4

Combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients:

(35x - 14x) + (-10 + 4)

= 21x - 6

So, 5(7x - 2) - 14x + 4 simplifies to 21x - 6.
17d - 33 + 9(2d + 6) - 11
To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations.

First, let's distribute the 9 to the terms inside the parentheses:

9(2d + 6) = 18d + 54

Now, let's simplify the expression:

17d - 33 + 18d + 54 - 11

Combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients:

(17d + 18d) + (-33 + 54) - 11

= 35d + 21 - 11

= 35d + 10

So, 17d - 33 + 9(2d + 6) - 11 simplifies to 35d + 10.
