Hi there! :)

Answer:

The good answer is the top left one, which is:

2x -1(5 - 3x) = 4x +2

2x - 5 + 3x = 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 1(5 - 3x) = 4x + 2

The correct first step is to distribute the "-1" to the entire parentheses:

-1 × 5 = -5

-1 × -3x = 3x

Once this first step is done, you are left with an equation looking like this:

2x - 5 + 3x = 4x + 2

Which is the top left answer for you!

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

A baby elephant weighs 1,400 pounds, which is 7,437 pounds less than her mother. Write an equation to express the weight of the

erica [24]

Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.
