1 answer:

4 0

R+s-t-(r-s+t)

=2s-t is the answer

People think this answer would be just =2s but I have verified with an online calculator and the answer that textbooks look for regarding this is 2s-t

You would assume you would go r-r and thats 0 so no r's

you would say s-(-s) makes it plus and theres 2s

and you would say -t -(+t) is -t

that's why the answer is 2s-t

At first I also did t-(+t) and thought it would be no t's but the answer is in fact 2s-t

<h2>QUESTION</h2>

$\mathsf{-0.5(14a - 22)}$

<h2>FIRST YOU HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE:</h2>

$\mathsf{(-0.5)(14a) + (-0.5)( -22)}$

<h2>SOLVING FOR OUR ANSWER</h2>

$\mathsf{(0.5)(14a) = - 7a} \\ \\ \mathsf{( - 0.5)( - 22) = 11}$

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare

larisa [96]

<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>
