There are many reasons one may want to simplify, rearranging to find specific values - or maybe just making it simpler
Well, let's do some examples:
y(x(3+2)) +2 = -2y +2 <span>< I just made this one up, it looks really complicated right now, none the less it can be simplified easily
</span>y(3x+2x) + 2 = - 2y +2
3xy + 2xy + 2 = -2y +2
5xy + 2 = -2y +2 <-- the +2's dissapear because they cancel out
5xy = -2y
<span>And there we have it, that long expression has been simplified to something really simple.
</span>
Another example:
3(4(x+3(2 +z)) - 5)= 3y <span><- you can start where ever, I like starting in the middle
</span>3 * (4 * (x + 3*(2 + z)) - 5 ) = 3y <span><- here it is spaced out, we get a much better view
</span><span>3 * (4 * (x + 6 + 3z) - 5 ) = 3y</span>
3 * (4x + 24 + 12z - 5) = 3y <- divide both sides by 3 ..
4x + 24 + 12z - 5 = y <- much better
<span>
</span>Note: Simplify means solving to a degree, but you can't solve it because it has unknowns
B. attend fewer movies.
He should put more time into cutting grass but that's not an option. He doesn't have any more to put into savings and he's already over budget for his movies/music purchases. The only logical solution would be B.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x=4-1
3x=3
