Answer:
28-4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Open most inner bracket and simplify
=18-2(x+x-5)
=18-2(2x-5)
Step 2: Expand brackets by multiplying 2 in and simplify
=18-2(2x)-2(-5)
=18-4x+10
=28-4x
Therefore the answer is 28-4x
Answer:
1537pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:

Solution:
From the second sentence;
Weight at the end of the eighth month = 212 x weight at birth.
Input the parameters and solve;
Weight at the end of eighth month = 212 x 7.25 = 1537pounds

Answer: -5 < x < 2</h3>
Explanation:
The expression -2x means -2 times x. To undo this, we divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Dividing by a negative number will flip the inequality sign. We go from "less than" to "greater than"
-4 < -2x < 10
-4/(-2) > x > 10/(-2) .... inequality signs flip
2 > x > -5
-5 < x < 2
This unknown number x is between -5 and 2. It cannot equal -5. It cannot equal 2.
