Which expression equals 6x − 5y + 2 − 8x + 3( y + 5)? A) 3x − 2y + 17 B) −3x + 2y + 17 C) −2x − 2y + 17 D) −2x − 2y − 17

Answer:

C) −2x − 2y + 17

Step-by-step explanation (PEMDAS):

First, we do 3 (y + 5) because of the parenthesis:

6x − 5y + 2 − 8x + 3y + 15

Since there are no exponents, multiplication ,or division, we will add and subtract. But we have to make sure we combine like terms. X with X's, Y with Y's and constants with constants. And ALWAYS go from left to right

6x − 5y + 2 − 8x + 3y + 15

−2x − 5y + 2 + 3y + 15

−2x − 2y + 2 + 15

−2x − 2y + 17.

From a pile of 100 pennies(P), 100 nickels(N), and 100 dimes(D), select 21 coins which have a total value of exactly $1.00. In y

Murrr4er [49]

So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickles and 7 dimes
Lets, check it.
According to the question,
total coins = 21
7 + 4 + 10 = 21
21 = 21.........................................true
Now,
their value should equal $1.00 = 100 cents
Penny = 1 cent
nickle = 5 cent
dime = 10 cent,
So,
(10 *1) + (4 * 5) + (7 * 10) = 100
10 + 20 + 70 = 100
100 = 100......................................true

So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickle, and 7 dimes
