To determine which responses are equivalent to the expression \((3x−8)+(2x+5)−(4x−8)\), we will simplify the original expression step by step:

  1. Start with the original expression: \[ (3x - 8) + (2x + 5) - (4x - 8) \]

  2. Distribute the negative sign in front of \(-(4x - 8)\): \[ (3x - 8) + (2x + 5) - 4x + 8 \]

  3. Combine the terms:

    • Combine the \(x\) terms: \(3x + 2x - 4x = (3 + 2 - 4)x = x\)
    • Combine the constant terms: \(-8 + 5 + 8 = (-8 + 5 + 8) = 5\)

  4. The simplified expression is: \[ x + 5 \]

Now, let's check each response to see if it simplifies to \(x + 5\):

  1. Response: \(3x−8+2x+5−4x−8\)

    • Combine: \(3x + 2x - 4x - 8 - 8 + 5 = (3 + 2 - 4)x + (-8 - 8 + 5) = x - 11\) (Not equivalent)

  2. Response: \(3x−8+2x+5−4x+8\)

    • Combine: \(3x + 2x - 4x - 8 + 8 + 5 = (3 + 2 - 4)x + (0 + 5) = x + 5\) (Equivalent)

  3. Response: \(3x+2x−4x−8+5+8\)

    • Combine: \(3x + 2x - 4x - 8 + 5 + 8 = (3 + 2 - 4)x + (0 + 5) = x + 5\) (Equivalent)

  4. Response: \(5x−4x−8+5+8\)

    • Combine: \(5x - 4x - 8 + 5 + 8 = (5 - 4)x + (0 + 5) = x + 5\) (Equivalent)

  5. Response: \(x−8+5+8\)

    • Combine: \(x - 8 + 5 + 8 = x + (5 - 8 + 8) = x + 5\) (Equivalent)

  6. Response: \(x−13+8\)

    • Combine: \(x - 13 + 8 = x - 5\) (Not equivalent)

  7. Response: \(x−3+8\)

    • Combine: \(x - 3 + 8 = x + 5\) (Equivalent)

  8. Response: \(x−21\)

    • Not equivalent (It's just \(x - 21\)).

  9. Response: \(x+5\)

    • This is obviously equivalent.

Thus, the expressions that are equivalent to \((3x−8)+(2x+5)−(4x−8)\) are:

  • \(3x−8+2x+5−4x+8\)
  • \(3x+2x−4x−8+5+8\)
  • \(5x−4x−8+5+8\)
  • \(x−8+5+8\)
  • \(x−3+8\)
  • \(x+5\)

So the selected responses are:

  • \(3x−8+2x+5−4x+8\)
  • \(3x+2x−4x−8+5+8\)
  • \(5x−4x−8+5+8\)
  • \(x−8+5+8\)
  • \(x−3+8\)
  • \(x+5\)

To determine which expressions are equivalent to \(5(3x + 9)\), we will simplify the original expression step by step:

  1. Start with the original expression: \[ 5(3x + 9) \]

  2. Apply the distributive property: \[ 5 \times 3x + 5 \times 9 = 15x + 45 \]

The simplified expression is: \[ 15x + 45 \]

Now let's check each response to see if it is equivalent to \(15x + 45\):

  1. Response: \(8x + 14\)

    • This does not match. (Not equivalent)

  2. Response: \(5 \times 3x + 5 \times 9\)

    • This simplifies to \(15x + 45\) (Equivalent).

  3. Response: \(5 \times 3x + 9\)

    • This simplifies to \(15x + 9\) (Not equivalent).

  4. Response: \(15x + 9\)

    • This does not match. (Not equivalent)

  5. Response: \(15x + 45\)

    • This matches exactly. (Equivalent).

Thus, the expressions that are equivalent to \(5(3x + 9)\) are:

  • \(5 \times 3x + 5 \times 9\)
  • \(15x + 45\)

In summary, the correct responses are:

  • \(5 \times 3x + 5 \times 9\)
  • \(15x + 45\)

To simplify the expression \(-4.08 \div 1.2 - (-4.2) \times 1.5\), we will carry out the calculations step by step.

  1. Calculate \(-4.08 \div 1.2\): \[ -4.08 \div 1.2 = -3.4 \]

  2. Calculate \(-(-4.2) \times 1.5\):

    • First, calculate \(-4.2 \times 1.5\): \[ -4.2 \times 1.5 = -6.3 \]
    • Since we have a negative of a negative: \[ -(-4.2 \times 1.5) = 6.3 \]

  3. Now combine the results: \[ -3.4 + 6.3 = 2.9 \]

So, the simplified expression results in \(2.9\).

Among the given responses, the correct answer is:

  • 2.9

To solve the equation \(5y - 10 = -25\) for \(y\), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the term with \(y\)

Add \(10\) to both sides of the equation to eliminate the \(-10\):

\[ 5y - 10 + 10 = -25 + 10 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 5y = -15 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(y\)

Now, divide both sides by \(5\):

\[ y = \frac{-15}{5} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ y = -3 \]

Solution:

So, the solution is:

\[ y = -3 \]

Make sure to enter the solution correctly in your input fields.

To solve the equation \(-3x + 4 = -8\) for \(x\), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the term with \(x\)

Subtract \(4\) from both sides of the equation to eliminate the \(+4\):

\[ -3x + 4 - 4 = -8 - 4 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -3x = -12 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(x\)

Now, divide both sides by \(-3\):

\[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 4 \]

Solution:

So, the solution is:

\[ x = 4 \]

Make sure to enter the solution correctly in your input fields.

To solve the equation \(-3x - 9 = -21\), we can follow these steps and fill in the blanks accordingly.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ -3x - 9 = -21 \]

  2. Step 1: Add \(9\) to both sides of the equation: \[ -3x = -21 + 9 \] So, \[ -3x = -12 \]

  3. Step 2: Now, divide both sides of the equation by \(-3\): \[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 4 \]

Summary of answers to fill in:

  • After adding \(9\) to both sides:
    \(-3x = -12\)

  • After dividing both sides by \(-3\):
    \(x = 4\)

So your entries should be:

  • For the first blank: -12
  • For the second blank: 4
