Here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1
Evaluation of Jacqueline's earnings: Jacqueline's earnings from two jobs are represented by the expression \(15l + 12s\). We need to evaluate this for \(l = 5\) and \(s = 7\).
\[ 15(5) + 12(7) = 75 + 84 = 159 \]
Answer: Jacqueline will earn $159 this week.
Question 2
Simplification of the expression: \(5a - 8c + b + 3c - 9a + 6b\)
Combine like terms:
- For \(a\): \(5a - 9a = -4a\)
- For \(b\): \(b + 6b = 7b\)
- For \(c\): \(-8c + 3c = -5c\)
Putting it all together: \[ -4a + 7b - 5c \]
Answer: \(-4a + 7b - 5c\)
Question 3
Simplification of the expression: \(-34r + 3 - 56r - 6\)
Combine like terms:
- For \(r\): \(-34r - 56r = -90r\)
- For constants: \(3 - 6 = -3\)
Putting it all together: \[ -90r - 3 \]
Answer: \(-90r - 3\)
Question 4
Expansion of the expression: \(8(3p + 2)\)
Using the distributive property: \[ 8 \times 3p + 8 \times 2 = 24p + 16 \]
Answer: \(24p + 16\)
Question 5
Expansion of the expression: \(-4(6a - 5)\)
Using the distributive property: \[ -4 \times 6a + (-4) \times (-5) = -24a + 20 \]
Answer: \(-24a + 20\)
Question 6
Expansion of the expression: \(74(8h + 3)\)
Using the distributive property: \[ 74 \times 8h + 74 \times 3 = 592h + 222 \]
Answer: \(592h + 222\)
Question 7
Expansion of the expression: \(-56(9b - 12)\)
Using the distributive property: \[ -56 \times 9b + (-56) \times (-12) = -504b + 672 \]
Answer: \(-504b + 672\)
Question 8
Finding the GCF: For \(20x - 4\), we can factor out the common factor: The GCF is \(4\).
Answer: \(4\)
Question 9
Finding the GCF: For \(30m + 12n\), we can find the GCF: The GCF is \(6\).
Answer: \(6\)
Question 10
Factoring \(8a - 28\) using GCF: The GCF is \(4\): \[ 8a - 28 = 4(2a - 7) \]
Answer: \(4(2a - 7)\)
Question 11
Factoring \(12y + 6\) using GCF: The GCF is \(6\): \[ 12y + 6 = 6(2y + 1) \]
Answer: \(6(2y + 1)\)
Question 12
Adding the expressions: \[ 5(0.5k - 1) + 2(0.4 - k) \] Calculating each part: \[ 5(0.5k) - 5(1) + 2(0.4) - 2(k) = 2.5k - 5 + 0.8 - 2k \] Combining like terms: \[ 2.5k - 2k - 5 + 0.8 = 0.5k - 4.2 \]
Answer: \(0.5k - 4.2\)
Question 13
Subtracting the expressions: \[ 12(z + 4) - 3(14z + 1) \] Expanding: \[ 12z + 48 - 42z - 3 \] Combine like terms: \[ 12z - 42z + 48 - 3 = -30z + 45 \]
Answer: \(-30z + 45\)
Question 14
Subtracting the expressions: \[ (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) \] Distributing the negative: \[ 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c \] Combine like terms:
- For \(b\): \(3b - 2b - b = 0\)
- For \(c\): \(-2c - 6c - c = -9c\)
Final result: \[ -9c \]
Answer: \(-9c\)
Question 15
Simplifying the expression: \[ 4 + 8(3x - 2) - 7x \] Expanding: \[ 4 + 24x - 16 - 7x \] Combine like terms: \[ (24x - 7x) + (4 - 16) = 17x - 12 \]
Final Result: \(17x - 12\)
