Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
Answer:
x = 7
3x + 11 = 32
8x + 2 = 58
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 11 + 8x + 2 = 90
11x + 13 = 90
11x = 77
x = 7
3x + 11 = 3(7) + 11 = 32
8x + 2 = 8(7) + 2 = 58
First change the 0.05 to a fraction.
0.05 = 1/20
Then you have the equation:
10/20 = 0.5
Answer:
D. Y=-3/2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(0,-3)
-3=-2/3(0)+b
-3=b
y=-3/2x+3 parallel slope is -3/2
Y=-3/2x-3
