Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 0, point, 6, x, minus, 9, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis−0.6x−9(x+4)

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \(-0.6x - 9(x + 4)\) in simplest terms, we first distribute the \(-9\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ -0.6x - 9(x + 4) = -0.6x - 9x - 36 \]

Now, combine the like terms \(-0.6x\) and \(-9x\):

\[ -0.6x - 9x = -9.6x \]

So the expression simplifies to:

\[ -9.6x - 36 \]

This is the simplified form of the expression.
