Simplify 3-9 (-2 + x) -9x

1 answer:

You would use the distributive property and addition to simplify this equation.

Let's start from left to right:

3-9= -6

Distribute -6 through to -2 and positive x:

-6(-2)= 12 (negatives cancel each other out and become positive)

-6(x)= -6x

New equation;

12-6x-9x

Now we would add together like the terms (x):

-6x+(-9x)= -15x

Don't forget that 12!

12-15x is your simplified answer.

Hope that helps explains!

GrogVix [38]

The cow produces 5 liters a day.
You want to find how much it will produce a day if the cow produces 200% more milk. So, you use the equation p*(1+x/100)
<span>5×(1+200/100)=15</span>
