Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the expression we have is:

To find an equivalent expression, it would be helpful to express 1/3 so that it has a 12 in the denominator:

so we substitute this:

and now we have 1/12 in both terms :

so we can factor it (we take it out of each term: in the first we are left with -x and in the second with -4):
the equivalent expression is:
The answer is 21x-25 because all you have to do is multiply the 1/4 by the 84x and then multiply 1//4 by negative 100. A simpler way of explaining this is just that you need to distribute
Take the decimal and multiply it by 100.
