Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given expression is : (3x + 6x) - 2(x + 1) + 5

In very first step,  Lisa made a mistake.

Lisa took 3 as common factor out and what she wrote is 3 (1+x) but when she took 3 as common factor, the expression would be 3 (x+2x)

Here she made a mistake.

3(x+2x)-2(x+1)+5

9x-2(x+1)+5

9x-2x-2+5

7x+3

So, the correct answer is 7x+3  :   Answer

Hope it willhelp :)

Answer:

Step 1. Should be 3(x +2x) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 3x(1 +2) -2(x +1) +5 . . .

or . . . 9x -2(x+1) +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa apparently failed to realize that both terms inside the first set of parentheses have 3x as a factor. They are like terms, so could be combined directly. If Lisa really wants to factor out 3 or 3x, she could do so and then combine the remaining factors at another step.

Simplify this problem::<br> -6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25
Lynna [10]

Answer:

8x + 1/2 or 8x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

u can either convert the fraction to a decimal or convert the decimal into a fraction, i'm going to do the latter

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3 1/4

rearrange to make it easier, don't need to do this i'm just doing this for the sake of it

-6x + 14x + 3 3/4 - 3 1/4

8x + 2/4, simplify this

8x + 1/2

The decimal way if u want:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 3.75 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 14x + 3.75 - 3.25

8x + 0.5
