First distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
-2(x+4)=-2x-8
now we have
-2x-8-8=4
-2x-16=4
add 16 both sides
-2x=20
divide bot sides by -2
x=-10

To solve this question apply the distributive property to the value of -2. It becomes -2x-16=4. Adding 16 on both sides it becomes -2x=20, dividing by -2. The result is -10.

Kaia needs braces, which will cost $2,400. Her insurance deductible is $1500, after which her insurance pays 80% of all costs. H

Troyanec [42]

I think it would be $180 because $2,400-$1,500 is $900. $900-80%=$180

3/2-5/6-2/9=? please help i will give crowns to who ever helps

leonid [27]

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find a greatest common denominator for 3/2, 5/6, and 2/9

GCD is 18

Change all fractions to a denominator with 18 and solve

27/18 - 15/18 - 4/18 = 27/18 - 19/18 = 8/18

8/18 can be simplified, so divide the numerator and denominator by 2

You will get 4/9

Hope this helps :)
