(7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥)

Answer 1

(7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥)

Expanding the expression inside the second parentheses, we get:

(7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.24𝑥 ― 3)

Combining like terms, we have:

7𝑥 ― 2 ― 0.24𝑥 + 3

= 7𝑥 ― 0.24𝑥 ― 2 + 3

= 6.76𝑥 + 1

Therefore, the equivalent expressions to (7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥) are:

6.76𝑥 + 1
