5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b
= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)
= 2a - 4b
Answer:
4w-15
Step-by-step explanation:
For expressions that have "more than/less than" , that number goes AFTER the "whatever a number" statement because that's just how they explain it. I don't remember the exact reason why, but that is how my professor made me remember it, and yes, the order WILL affect the expression since that's a specific topic and I suppose you're being tested on how to make algebraic expressions based on descriptions.
Answer:
M= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
the ys are the same
You would start with the equation:Let m=number of miles
49.98+0.12m=35.98+0.17m
Then solve for m
You would then get
49.98+0.12m=35.98+0.17m
-0.12m -0.12m
49.98=35.98+0.05m
-35.98 -35.98
14 = 0.05m
---- --------
0.05 0.05
280=m
