How to solve -7-8(6x+5)

Mathematics
1 answer:
koban [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: -47 - 48x

Step-by-step explanation: When you first take a look at this problem, it's tempting to want to subtract -7 - 8 to get -15 and then distribute the -15 through the parentheses.

You wouldn't want to subtract however before you distribute because the distributive property is a form of multiplication and remember from your order of operations that multiplication comes before subtraction.

So the first thing you want to do here is distribute and change the minus sign in front of the -8 to plus a negative 8 so that you know you are distributing a -8 through your parentheses.

So we have -7 + -8 times 6x which is -42x + -8 times 5 which is -40.

Now we have -7 + -48x + -40.

Now just combine your like terms. -7 + -40 is -47 and plus a negative 48x can be written as -48x so we have -47 - 48x.

So your answer is just -47 - 48x.

Which of the following best describes the algebraic expression 7(x +12) - 4 ?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

C. Four less than seven times quantity of a number plus twelve.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the given expression that 4 is subtracted from 7(x+12). The term used to describe subtraction is less. So, it is 4 less than 7(x+12).

We can clearly see that the first term is x and x can take any value.

So the whole expression will be four less than seven times quantity of a number plus twelve.

Hence option C is the correct answer ..

Find the value of x?<br> A.45<br> B.22<br> C.82<br> D.56
fgiga [73]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Exterior Angle Theorem, we know that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

(2x+8)+(3x+5)=123       [combine like terms]

5x+13=123                     [subtract both sides by 13]

5x=110                           [divide both sides by 5]

x=22

Now, we know that the answer is B.
