Simplify by combining terms.

2x + 3(x – 2) – 3(x – 6)

2x + 3x - 6 - 3x + 18

2x + 12

A baseball bat and 8 baseballs cost $163.25. The bat costs $106.45. What is the cost c of one baseball? (1 point)

163.25 – 8c = 106.45; $33.71
8c + 106.45 = 163.25; $7.10
8c + 163.25 = 106.45; $7.10
8c – 106.45 = 163.25; $33.71

Yes! B is right! :-)

I'm glad you understand that problem now.

You're welcome.
