(3x−8)+(2x+5)−(4x−8)

29 answers

To simplify the expression, we can start by removing the parentheses and combining like terms.

(3x - 8) + (2x + 5) - (4x - 8)

First, let's distribute the negative sign in front of the last parentheses:

(3x - 8) + (2x + 5) - 4x + 8

Now, let's combine like terms:

3x + 2x - 4x - 8 + 5 + 8

Simplifying further:

(x) + (-8 + 5 + 8)

x + 5

Therefore, the simplified expression is x + 5.

0.3x+1.3
0 point 3 x plus 1 point 3

0.3x+3.1
0 point 3 x plus 3 point 1

3.1−0.3x
To find the equivalent expression, let's distribute the -0.5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2.2 - 0.5(0.6x - 1.8)

= 2.2 - (0.5 * 0.6x) + (0.5 * 1.8)

= 2.2 - 0.3x + 0.9

Now, let's simplify further:

= 2.2 + 0.9 - 0.3x

= 3.1 - 0.3x

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 2.2 - 0.5(0.6x - 1.8) is 3.1 - 0.3x.

To simplify the expression, let's combine the like terms inside the parentheses first:

−6(14x - 23x + 56x)

= −6(-9x + 56x)

Now, simplify further by multiplying -6 with each term inside the parentheses:

= -6 * -9x + (-6 * 56x)

= 54x - 336x

= -282x

Therefore, the simplified expression is -282x.

To simplify the expression, we can distribute -12 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-12(-6x + 3)

= (-12 * -6x) + (-12 * 3)

= 72x - 36

Therefore, the simplified expression is 72x - 36.

To simplify the expression, we can distribute -9 to the terms inside the parentheses:

11 - 9(-2x - 3)

= 11 - (-9 * -2x) + (-9 * -3)

= 11 + 18x + 27

= 18x + 38

Therefore, the simplified expression is 18x + 38.

To simplify the expression, we just need to distribute the coefficient 35 to the term inside the parentheses:

35x - 40

= 5(7x) - 5(8)

= 5(7x - 8)

Therefore, the simplified expression is 5(7x - 8).

To simplify the expression, we don't need to do anything since it is already in its simplest form:

100x + 1000

Therefore, the simplified expression is 100x + 1000.
3−(4x−5)+6
To simplify the expression, we can start by removing the parentheses and combining like terms:

3 - (4x - 5) + 6

First, let's distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses:

3 - 4x + 5 + 6

Now, let's combine like terms:

(3 + 5 + 6) - 4x

14 - 4x

Therefore, the simplified expression is 14 - 4x.
(5⋅20)+(3⋅20)
To simplify the expression, we can multiply the values inside parentheses and then add the results:

(5 * 20) + (3 * 20)

= 100 + 60

= 160

Therefore, the simplified expression is 160.

This representation applies the distributive property by multiplying each dimension separately and then adding the results together.
Charity and Sabria both are nail artists. Charity charges $75 for a set of nails with designs and Sabria charges $70 for the same type set of nails. This week Charity made an additional $65 in tips and Sabria made an additional $95 in tips. Given that C and S represent the number of sets of nails completed by Charity (C) and Sabria (S), which expression can be used to represent their combined earnings for the week.(1 point)

145(C + S) + 160

75C + 70S + 160
75C + 70S + 160

65C + 70S + 160
To represent the combined earnings for the week for Charity and Sabria, we need to multiply the number of sets of nails completed by each artist by their respective rates, and then add the tips earned by each artist.

Let C represent the number of sets of nails completed by Charity, and S represent the number of sets of nails completed by Sabria.

Charity's earnings for the week would be 75C + 65 (for the tips).

Sabria's earnings for the week would be 70S + 95 (for the tips).

To represent their combined earnings for the week, we add these two expressions:

(75C + 65) + (70S + 95)

Simplifying this expression:

75C + 70S + 160

Therefore, the correct expression to represent their combined earnings for the week is 75C + 70S + 160.
Christine(C) and Ty(T) save quarters in a jar together. The jar had $28 in it, then Christine put in C quarters and Ty put in T quarters. Which expression can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now?(1 point)

0.25C + 0.25T + 28
0.25C + 0.25T + 28

0.25FJ + 28
To represent the amount of money in the bank after Christine and Ty added their quarters, we need to calculate the total value of the quarters they added and add it to the initial amount of $28 in the jar.

Let C represent the number of quarters Christine added, and T represent the number of quarters Ty added.

The value of C quarters would be 0.25C (since each quarter is worth $0.25).

The value of T quarters would be 0.25T (since each quarter is worth $0.25).

To represent the amount of money in the bank now, we add the initial $28 to the value of the quarters added:

0.25C + 0.25T + 28

Therefore, the correct expression to represent the amount of money in the bank now is 0.25C + 0.25T + 28.
21. A ribbon 618

To find the length of the shortened ribbon, we need to subtract the length that was cut off (2112 feet) from the original length of the ribbon (618 feet).

618 feet - 2112 feet = -1494 feet

Since a negative length doesn't make sense, we can conclude that the length of the shortened ribbon is not possible given the given lengths provided.

To simplify the expression, we need to perform the division:

−417 ÷ −34

When dividing a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive.

Therefore:

−417 ÷ −34 = 417 ÷ 34

Using long division, we find that 417 divided by 34 equals approximately 12.26.

So, the simplified expression is 12.26.

However, none of the given options match this result, so none of the provided responses are correct.
