When you multiplied both sides by a NEGATIVE number, what WAS negative became positive, and what WAS positive became negative! Everything that was larger became small, and what was smaller became large. Everything REVERSED

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

-6x+12

-9+5a

7x+63

8y-4/5x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these all you have to do is take the number outside of the parenthesis and multiply them by each term.

-3(2x)-3(-4) All I did here was expand the problem to show what i mean by terms.

-6x+12

Do this for each problem.

0.1(-90)+0.1(50a)

-9+5a

-7(-x)-7(-9) For this one you are taking negatives times negatives so each answer will be positive.

7x+63

4/5(10y)+4/5(-x)+4/5(-15)

8y-4/5x-12
