-(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
u are distributing the -sign through the parenthesis...so u take the number outside of the parenthesis (and if it just a sign, the number is 1)...and u multiply it by everything in the parenthesis.
-1(-7y + 12) = -1 * -7y + (-1) * 12 = 7y + (-12) = 7y - 12
To solve this question, we use simple division:
So, there are
10 servings of 4/5 of a cup in 8 cups.
41.848/3.4=12.308
The actual building is 12.306 times larger than the model.
First use distributive property:
2(3n + 4) - 2(2n + 5)
6n + 8 - 4n - 10
Group like terms:
6n - 4n + 8 - 10
Add like terms:
2n - 2
First, sum up the total expenses for the original plan
Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos = 242+185+193+120 = R$740
It is clearly over the intended budget. The average cost per itinerary is around R$200 so we will consider making a swap on either Duque de Caxias and Rio de Janeiro. Possible answers are (b) or (c)
for (b) Replace Duque de Caxias with Fortaleza, we will have
Fortaleza + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos =
⇒ 201+185+193+120 = R$699 ⇒ This is exactly the budget intended for the trip
for (C) Replace Rio de Janeiro with Porto Alegre
Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Porto Alegre + Guarulhos =
⇒ 242 + 185 + 153 +120 = R$ 700 ⇒ This is over R$1
The answer is (b)
