Question

(1.3x + 2.4) - (6.1x - 3.2)

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{4}{5}(7-6x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$(1.3x+2.4)-(6.1x-3.2)$

Here we have to group similar terms, but firstly we have to solve what is inside the second parenthesis according to the rules of algebraic operations (equal signs give as a result a positive sing and different sings gives as a result a negative sing):

$1.3x+2.4-6.1x+3.2$

$5.6-4.8x$

This expression can be written as:

$\frac{28}{5}-\frac{24}{5}x$

Applying common factor $\frac{4}{5}$:

$\frac{4}{5}(7-6x)$ This is the result
