Answer:
Exact Form: 15/2
Decimal Form: 7.5
Mixed Number Form: 7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - x = 10
-x = 10 - 3
-x = 7
x = -7 <===

your don't see what went wrong ?
Tyrell worked on
16 - 2(4 + 3x)
what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.
as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.
so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.
so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.
therefore, the correct simplification looks like
16 - 8 - 6x
8 - 6x or -6x + 8
Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up
10x - 3(4x + 1)
10x - 12x - 3
10x - 12x = -2x
I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.
so, the result is
-2x - 3
Answer:
20!
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) Simplifying the equation would lead you to 15x^2-3x+9
b.) You know your answer is correct because you're adding the two polynomials together. 9x^2+6x^2 is 1tx^2. Now you have 2x-5x and since the negative is bigger, you get -3x. Then 5+4 is 9. You have no like terms therefore your answer is 15x^2-3x+9
