The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so just drop it.
The second set of parentheses has a negative sign to its left.
To simplify the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside the parentheses. Then combine like terms.

Answer:
6 phones and 18 accessories
Step-by-step explanation:
12P + 3.50A = 135
A = 12 + P
12P + 3.50(12 + P) = 135,
12P + 42 +3.50P = 135
15.50P = 93
P = 6 phones
A = 12 + 6 = 18 accessories
It's 40=8+11+21 it adds the previous answer<span />
Answer:
25/72
Step-by-step explanation:
P( blue) = blue / total = 4/12 = 1/3
P ( blue, blue) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
P ( red) = red / total = 5/12
P ( red, red) = 5/12 * 5/12 = 25/144
P ( green) = green /total = 3/12 =1/4
P ( green , green) = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
Add these together to get
P( same colour twice) = 1/9+ 25/144 + 1/16
=16/144 + 25/144 + 9/144
=50/144
=25/72
