Question

Can somebody help me

Answer 1

Answer:

Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3/4x-7-16, combine -7 and -16, 3/4x-23

2. -8+2y+4, combine -8 and 4, 2y+4

3. -4x+11x+3y, combine -4x and 11x, 7x+3y

4. 41+b-25b, combine b and -25b, 41-24b

5. -1/2(8x-2), distribute: -1/2*8x and -1/2*-2, -4x+1

6. $40, 15% off: 40(1.00-0.15)= $34

So simplifying expressions means to just combine like terms (e.g. 2 and 4, 5x and -18x, 7y and y, etc.)

Distribution means to apply the multiplication to the terms inside the parentheses (e.g. a(x+y) -> ax+ay)

Sales is just: original price * (1 - percent off by)

I hope this helps!
