Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 0, point, 4, r, minus, 3, left parenthesis, minus, 9, r, minus, 6, right parenthesis−0.4r−3(−9r−6)

Answer 1

The expression can be simplified step by step. Starting with the original expression:

\[ -0.4r - 3(-9r - 6) \]

1. Distribute the -3 across the parentheses:

\[ -0.4r + 27r + 18 \]

2. Combine like terms:

\[ (-0.4r + 27r) + 18 = (26.6r) + 18 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ 26.6r + 18 \]
