Your question is a bit unclear, but I will try to answer it anyway.
The expression 3x + 2(x - 1) - 4 simplified is:
3x + 2(x - 1) - 4
= 3x + 2x - 2 - 4
= 5x - 6
I cannot tell what the answers are but I am guessing they are these?:
A) 3x + 2x - 2 - 4
B) 5x - 6
C) 3(x - 4)
D) 3(x + 2) - 6
E) 6(x - 1)
Answer A is one, and so is answer B. If I read your question accurately.
I hope I helped!
Answer:
P=x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
a=8
b=x
c=10
P=8+x+10
Let p = number of pennies.
Let n = number of nickels.
We are given that n= 2p and the total value is $8.80.
We know that a penny = $0.01 and that a nickel = $0.05.
So $0.01p + $0.05n = $8.80.
Substitute 2p for n:
$0.01p + $0.05*2p = $8.80
$0.01p + $0.10p = $8.80
$0.11p = $8.80
p = 80
So n = 2p = 2*80 = 160
Thus there are 80 pennies ($0.8) and 160 nickels ($8.00). The value of all the coins is $8.80.
