Option D

Using the distributive property, -7(8x – 3) + x = -55x + 21

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to use distributive property to simplify the given expression

Given expression is:

-7(8x – 3) + x

Let us first understand about distributive property

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

<em><u>The distributive property is represented as:</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Apply this property in given expression for -7(8x - 3)

-7(8x - 3) = (- 7 \times 8x) + (-7 \times -3)\\\\-7(8x - 3) = -56x +21

Apply the above result in given expression

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x

Combine the like terms. Add -56x and x

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x = -55x + 21\\\\-7(8x - 3) + x = -55x + 21

Thus the given expression is simplified. Option D is correct

Simplify the expression
NeTakaya

First, solve the parenthesis

Remember to follow PEMDAS, and the left-> right rule

12/3 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

8 + 3 = 11

11 - 7 = 4

Square the remaining number

4² = 4 x 4 = 16

16 is your answer

hope this helps

An airplane descends 1.8 miles to an elevation of 6.75 miles. Find the elevation of the plane before its descent.
Mariana [72]

Answer: 8.55 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding the totals given in the problem together:

1.8 miles + 6.75 miles = 8.55 miles.

Therefore, because we descended the plane and are looking for the previous height, we just add the descent to the elevation AFTER descent.
