What expression is equivalent to 2.2-0.5(0.6x-1.8)

1 answer

To find an expression equivalent to 2.2-0.5(0.6x-1.8), we need to apply the distributive property.

2.2 - 0.5(0.6x - 1.8) = 2.2 - 0.5 * 0.6x + 0.5 * 1.8

Multiplying 0.5 with -0.6x and 1.8, we get:

2.2 - 0.3x + 0.9

Combining like terms, the expression is:

2.2 + 0.9 - 0.3x

Therefore, an expression equivalent to 2.2-0.5(0.6x-1.8) is 2.2 + 0.9 - 0.3x.
