Question:

Expand and simplify 5(x - 1) - 3(x + 4)

Answer:

1.) Use the distributive property to solve this equation:

5(x - 1) = 5x - 5

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

2.) Put it in the equation:

5x - 5 - 3x + 12

3.) Group them:

5x - 3x - 5 + 12

4.) Simplify:

2x - 7
which is the answer.

Hope this helped! :))

So first it’s 5x-5-3x-12( got this using distributive property)
Now we simplify by combining like terms so 5x-3x=2x
And -5-12=-17
Ending to be 2x-17

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 16 Solve for X

Mrac [35]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then perimeter

2(- 2x - 6) + 2(4x + 4) = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

- 4x - 12 + 8x + 8 = 16

4x - 4 = 16 ( add 4 to both sides )

4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 5
