Answer:

x+46

Step-by-step explanation:

4(-8x + 5) – (-33x – 26) 

The first step is to distribute and simplify.

4 distributed to -8x will be -32x, and same thing goes with 5, which is 20.

The first part of the equation is -32x+20

Now, this is where it gets confusing.

If there is a sign before a pair of parentheses, you always put 1. In this case, it's -1 distributed to -33x and -26.

So, the second part of the expression will be +33x+26

The whole expression is

-32x + 20 + 33x + 26

add like terms, -32x+33x= x.

20+26=46.

The answer is x+46.

Tim has read 10% of a book. He has 45 more pages to finish. How many pages are there in the book?

Monica [59]

if Tim has read 10% of the book, that means he still hasn't read 90% of it yet, and we know that that 90% is 45 pages, so say the book has a total amount of pages of "x", which is 100%.

$\begin{array}{ccll} pages&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 45&90\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{45}{x}=\cfrac{90}{100}\implies \cfrac{45}{x}=\cfrac{9}{10} \\\\\\ 450=9x\implies \cfrac{450}{9}=x\implies 50=x$
