Answer:

-(5 n + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-4 (n + 1) - (n + 2)

-4 (n + 1) = -4 n - 4:

-4 n - 4 - (n + 2)

-(n + 2) = -n - 2:

-4 - 4 n + -n - 2

Grouping like terms, -4 - 4 n - 2 - n = (-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2):

(-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2)

-4 n - n = -5 n:

-5 n + (-4 - 2)

-4 - 2 = -(4 + 2):

-5 n + -(4 + 2)

4 + 2 = 6:

-5 n - 6

Factor -1 out of -5 n - 6:

Answer: -(5 n + 6)

Eli had $10, but he lost some of it. His mom doubled the money he had left. Eli wrote the expression 2(10 – k) to show how much

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Equation 1

In the story it said Eli's mom doubled the money he left, that is what the two represents. 10 is the original amount he had. -k is the money he lost.

Equation 2

20 is the the result of the original 10 being multiplied. -2k, now the 2 is still the amount that the mom doubled his amount by, and the k is how much money Eli lost.

Hope this helps!!
