First of all you need to expand this expression. you do this by multiplying the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets. this is the first one ;   3 x 2a = 6a, 3 x 5 = 15. the extra + sign in the first brackets stays between the two terms, so the first set of brackets is now 6a + 15. now we have to look at the second ; 5 x a = 5a, 5 x 2 = 10, like the extra + sign, the extra - sign stays between the two terms as well, so the second bracket is now 5a-10. you put them together to get  6a + 15 + 5a - 10.

next you need to simplify the expression. first you need to group like terms,        e.g. the numbers and the letters.   <u>6a</u> + <em>15 </em><u>+5a</u> <em>-</em><em>10.</em> the 6a + 5a = <em><u>11a</u></em> and the 15 - 10 = <u><em>+</em></u><em><u>5</u></em>. you then put these two terms together to get your final answer of <em><u>
</u></em>

<u><em>11a + 5</em></u>

Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!

3.) mr. smith’s class sold wrapping paper for $3.50 each and mr. davis’ class sold magazines for $2.75 each. together, the class
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of wrapping paper sold

y ----> the number of magazines sold

we know that

The classes sold 72 items

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

The classes earned $222 for their school

so

3.50x+2.75y=222 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is (32,40)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of wrapping paper sold was 32 and the number of magazines sold was 40
