Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2(3x − 1.75) − 3(1.5x − 2.5)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

$2(3x - 1.75) - 3(1.5x - 2.5)$

$(2 * 3x) + (2 * -1.75) + (-3 * 1.5x) + (-3 * -2.5)$

$(6x) + (-3.5) + (-4.5x) + (7.5)$

Step 2:  Combine like terms

$(6x - 4.5x) + (7.5 - 3.5)$

$1.5x + 4$

Answer:  $1.5x + 4$

Answer 2

Answer:
