Answer:

C. 8x – 38

Step-by-step explanation:

he equation.

All the options have the parenthesis solves, with all the numbers distribute, so first, you need to do that.

$3(x – 6) + 5(x – 4)=$

$(3*x) - (3*6) + (5*x) -(4*5)=$

now, solve what you can

$3*x=3x\\3*6=18\\5*x=5x\\4*5=20$

And put it all together

$3x - 18 + 5x - 20$

You can link the X therms and the no X terms

$(3x + 5x) =8x\\(-18 - 20) =-38$

And the final equation is: 8x - 38

The answer is C.

3(x-6)+5(x-4) = 3•x+3•-6 = 3x-18 and 5•x+5•-4 = 5x-20

3x-18+5x-20

3x+5x = 8x and -18+-20 = -38

<u>Which gives you...</u>

8x-38

Answer:

$-2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{27}{8}=3\dfrac{3}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\qquad\text{the quotient of two negative numbers is positive}\\\\=2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\=\dfrac{2\cdot4+1}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{9}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\text{dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{9\cdot3}{4\cdot2}=\dfrac{27}{8}\qquad\text{convert to the mixed number}\\\\=3\dfrac{3}{8}$
