To add the linear expressions \( 7(n - 2) + 5(n + 4) + 3(n + 1) \), we first distribute each term:

  1. Distributing \( 7(n - 2) \): \[ 7n - 14 \]

  2. Distributing \( 5(n + 4) \): \[ 5n + 20 \]

  3. Distributing \( 3(n + 1) \): \[ 3n + 3 \]

Next, we combine all the terms:

\[ (7n - 14) + (5n + 20) + (3n + 3) \]

Now, combine the \( n \) terms and the constant terms:

  • Combining \( n \) terms: \[ 7n + 5n + 3n = 15n \]

  • Combining constant terms: \[ -14 + 20 + 3 = 9 \]

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ 15n + 9 \]

Thus, the final result is \( 15n + 9 \).

The correct response is:

15n + 9 (15 n plus 9).

19j−4
19 j minus 4

19j+4
19 j plus 4

−17j−4
negative 17 j minus 4

−8j−4

To simplify the expression \((j + 2) - 2(3 - 9j)\), let's first distribute the \(-2\) across the terms inside the parentheses:

  1. Distributing \(-2\): \[ -2(3) + -2(-9j) = -6 + 18j \]

Now substituting this back into the expression:

\[ (j + 2) - (6 - 18j) \]

This can be rewritten as:

\[ j + 2 - 6 + 18j \]

Now, combine the like terms:

  • The \(j\) terms: \[ j + 18j = 19j \]

  • The constant terms: \[ 2 - 6 = -4 \]

Bringing it all together, we get:

\[ 19j - 4 \]

Thus, the final result is \(19j - 4\).

The correct response is:

19j - 4 (19 j minus 4).

Subtract: (2u−7y)−(7u+2y) .(1 point)

5u−5y
5 u minus 5 y

−5u−9y
negative 5 u minus 9 y

−5u−5y
negative 5 u minus 5 y

5u−9y

To simplify the expression \((2u - 7y) - (7u + 2y)\), we will first distribute the negative sign across the second set of parentheses:

\[ (2u - 7y) - (7u + 2y) = 2u - 7y - 7u - 2y \]

Now, combine the like terms:

  1. For the \(u\) terms: \[ 2u - 7u = -5u \]

  2. For the \(y\) terms: \[ -7y - 2y = -9y \]

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ -5u - 9y \]

Thus, the final result is \(-5u - 9y\).

The correct response is:

−5u−9y (negative 5 u minus 9 y).

43a−78

7a+6
7 a plus 6

7a−6

To simplify the expression \(9 + 3(4a - 7) - 5a + 6\), we will follow these steps:

  1. First, distribute the \(3\) in \(3(4a - 7)\): \[ 3(4a) - 3(7) = 12a - 21 \]

  2. Substitute this back into the expression: \[ 9 + (12a - 21) - 5a + 6 \]

  3. Combine like terms:

    • Start with the constant terms: \[ 9 - 21 + 6 = -12 + 6 = -6 \]
    • Then combine the \(a\) terms: \[ 12a - 5a = 7a \]

So, putting it all together, we have: \[ 7a - 6 \]

Thus, the final simplified expression is \(7a - 6\).

The correct response is:

7a - 6 (7 a minus 6).

Paulita is going to build a storage cube. Each edge is 14 inches. The wood costs $0.03 per square inch. Use 0.03(5e2) , where e is the edge length, to evaluate for e = 14 . (1 point)

To find the cost of the wood needed for Paulita's storage cube, we can use the expression \(0.03(5e^2)\) where \(e\) is the edge length of the cube.

Given that \(e = 14\) inches, we can substitute this value into the expression:

  1. First calculate \(e^2\): \[ e^2 = 14^2 = 196 \]

  2. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 0.03(5 \cdot 196) \]

  3. Calculate \(5 \cdot 196\): \[ 5 \cdot 196 = 980 \]

  4. Now multiply this result by \(0.03\): \[ 0.03 \cdot 980 = 29.40 \]

Thus, the total cost of the wood is \($29.40\).

The correct response is:

$29.40.

Simplify 2x + 11y − 1 + 5x − 3y +7 .(1 point)

13xy + 2xy − 6
13 x y plus 2 x y minus 6

7x +8y − 6
7 x plus 8 y minus 6

7x +8y +6
7 x plus 8 y plus 6

13xy + 2xy + 6

To simplify the expression \(2x + 11y - 1 + 5x - 3y + 7\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Start by grouping the like terms together:

    • \(x\) terms: \(2x + 5x\)
    • \(y\) terms: \(11y - 3y\)
    • Constant terms: \(-1 + 7\)
  2. Now simplify each group:

    • For the \(x\) terms: \[ 2x + 5x = 7x \]
    • For the \(y\) terms: \[ 11y - 3y = 8y \]
    • For the constant terms: \[ -1 + 7 = 6 \]
  3. Combine all the results: \[ 7x + 8y + 6 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is \(7x + 8y + 6\).

The correct response is:

7x + 8y + 6 (7 x plus 8 y plus 6).
