Answer:
8x +6y -28
Step-by-step explanation:
The outside factor applies to each inside term, so the equivalent expression is ...
-8(-x -3/4y +7/2) = 8x +6y -28
Applying the distributive property once again, we can also write the equivalent expression ...
= 2(4x +3y -14)

There are an infinite number of other equivalent expressions. The problem statement is non-specific as to the acceptable form.
Answer:
2.52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.
Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2
x - 0.375 x = 4.2
0.625x = 4.2
x = 4.2 / 0.625
x = 6.72.
So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.
