No, Dan is not correct. 3/5 is not the same as 3.5

3/5 is saying 3 out of 5, which is a little more than one half between 1 and 2.
3.5 is saying 3 and a half, which is half way between the numbers 3 and 4.

Answer:

He is not correct

Explanation:

The first number is $\frac{3}{5}$

We can note that the numerator is less than the denominator. This means that the given fraction is less than 1

In decimal form, $\frac{3}{5}$ is equal to 0.6

The second number is 3.5

We can note that this number is greater than 1.

This means that the two numbers are not equal

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Because of the minus sign

2 becomes - 2

The answer is -2

Multiply a and 7

Multiply a and 1

The a just gets copied along.

The answer is a

7*a evaluates to 7a

Multiply b and 4

Multiply b and 1

The b just gets copied along.

The answer is b

4*b evaluates to 4b

7*a+4*b evaluates to 7a+4b

Multiply -2 by 7a+4b

we multiply -2 by each term in 7a+4b term by term.

This is the distributive property of multiplication.

Multiply -2 and 7a

Multiply 1 and a

The a just gets copied along.

-2 × 7a = -14a

Multiply -2 and 4b

Multiply 1 and b

The b just gets copied along.

-2 × 4b = -8b

-2*(7*a+4*b) evaluates to -14a-8b

Multiply c and 6

Multiply c and 1

The c just gets copied along.

The answer is c

6*c evaluates to 6c

The answer is -14a-8b-6c

-2*(7*a+4*b)-6*c evaluates to -14a-8b-6c

The final answer is

-14a-8b-6c
