Answer:

2x-17

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x + 5) + 5(x – 2) + 8

Lets begin:

What is -3(x+5)? I do -3×x+(-3)×5=-3x-15.

So 5(x-2) is 5×x+5×(-2)=5x-10.

Now lets sum it:

-3x-15+5x-10=2x-25

And we have 8:

2x-25+8=2x-17

3 percent of 420 is what ?
Alenkasestr [34]
Hi there! The answer is 12.6


First we need to change the percentage into a decimal. To convert this percentage, we have to divide it by 100.

3\% = 0.03


Hence, to find 3 percent of 420, we must multiply 420 by 0.03. We get the following:

3\% \times 420 = 0.03 \times 420 = 12.6
