5a+5b because 6a-a=5a and 8b-3b=5b. 5a+5b.
5(2x + 5), because 10x and 25 only have 5 in common, which is why it's outside the bracket, and 5 × 2x is 10x, and 5 × 5 is 25. Hope this helps!
<u><em>Answer: =-7.5+20y</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
a=-2.5, b=3, c=8y
-2.5*3-(-2.5)*8y
3(-2.5)-8(-2.5)y
simplify by equation.
3(-2.5)-8(-2.5)y=-7.5+20y
=-7.5+20y
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1
Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.
= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8
Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.
This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:
1 - 5/8
Lowest Common Denominator = 8
Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8
