Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is two times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is multiplying the coefficient in front of parentheses into the parentheses. You have two sets of parentheses both with a coefficient that needs to be distributed.

The first time you use it is on 2(x+5), distributing the 2.

The second time you use it is on the -3(2x+7), distributing the -3

Please let me know if you have questions :)

Fred weighs 40 pounds less than twice Barney. Their combined weight is 320 pounds. Let F = Fred's weight in pounds and B = Barne
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided we can create two different equations for this system. The first of which would be Fred's overall weight, while the second equation would be Fred's and Barney's combined weight. These equations would be the following...

F = 2B - 40

320 = F + B

As requested I will not solve the system of equations and leave them as they are.
