Pretend there is an invisible -1 in front of the parenthesis to distribute, then get rid of the parenthesis, then you can combine like terms.
= 5a - 1(8-a) +4a - 10       
         ^-----^                      <-- negative (-) times (x) a negative (-) equals positive = (+)
= 5a - 8 + a +4a - 10        
     ^---------^----^               <--Combine like terms      
= 5a +a +4a = 10a
= -8 -10       = -18
= 10a -18

Hope this helps!

Nicole bought six pounds of apples at $1.50 per pound. The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. Nicole and her fri
Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.

Each pound of apple cost $1.50

This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be

6 × 1.5 = $9

The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is

9 - 2 = $7

If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be

x = 7/2
