To find equivalent expressions, distribute the 7 into (-3/4x - 3)
7(-3/4x) = -21/4x, which simplified is -5 1/4x
7(-3) = -21
Put together, this is -5 1/4x - 21 (answer 1)
Another way to write an equivalent expression would be to not simplify 7 times the distributed term. You could write 7(-3/4) + 7(-3) which makes #5 correct as well. #5 is 7(-3/4x) - 7(3). If this was simplified, it would equal answer choice 1.
#2 is not correct because 7 times -3/4x does not equal -7 3/4x
#3 is not correct because -21/4 simplifies to -5 1/4, not -6 1/4
#4 is not correct because 7(-3) does not equal -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>
- 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
- => 2x - 4 - 6
- => 2x - 10
When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.
<u>Marty's mistake</u>
- Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
- He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.
155% of X = 84.47
1.55 of X = 84.47
X= 84.47/1.55
X=54.49 Answer
A bag holds 10 apples. The orchard sells 2430 apples in all. Divide the total by the part
2430/10 = 243
243 bags were used and sold.
hope this helps
36 because -2(-5)+4(7)-2(1)=36
