Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 0, point, 6, x, minus, 9, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis−0.6x−9(x+4)

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \(-0.6x - 9(x + 4)\) in simplest terms, we first distribute the \(-9\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
-0.6x - 9(x + 4) = -0.6x - 9x - 36
\]

Now, combine the like terms \(-0.6x\) and \(-9x\):

\[
-0.6x - 9x = -9.6x
\]

So the expression simplifies to:

\[
-9.6x - 36
\]

This is the simplified form of the expression.
