Reptile [31]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all substitute the values to where ever you see their corresponding variables to make them multiply.

x = 9

y = 3

z = 2

so we get

8x as 8(9),

7z as 7(2)

2y as 2(3)

then the it's will be

8(9) - 7(2) + 2(3)

which is

72 - 14 + 6

finally we get

Simplify the expression -(6 - 4p)

Illusion [34]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $-6+4p$

Given:

$-(6-4p)$

First, we distribute the negative sign to both terms ( $6$ $and$ $-4p$ ) This would make the $6$ negative and the $-4p$ positive, so we have:

$-6$ $and$ $4p$

Add them together and we get:

$-6+4p$

Have a nice day!

What is 4/3 subtracted by 2/5

Tomtit [17]

Here is you're answer:

In order to find the answer you have to find the common denominator and then subtract.

$\frac{4}{3} - \frac{2}{5}$
Find the common denominator:
$CD = 15$
$4 - 2 = 2$
$=\frac{2}{15}$

Therefore you're answer is "2/15."

Hope this helps!
