No, because both can be divided by two. in simplist form it is 3 1/9
Step 1: plug in 5 and 2 for your X and Y
Step 2: multiply 8*X or in this case 8*5 and you will get 40
Step 3: multiply 3*Y or in this case 3*2 and you will get 6
Step 4: subtract 40-6 and you will get 34
Answer:
I am going to give this to someone and see if they can help!
Step-by-step explanation:
I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
