8/9 - 1/5
= 5(8/9)-9(1/5)
=(40/45)-(9/45)
=31/45

therefore 31/45 of the estate would go to the American cancer society

6 (3x-1)-10x. with work please :)

STatiana [176]

Hey there!
Let's break this expression into two parts:
6(3x-1) and -10x

To solve the first part, we need to use the distributive property which states:
a(b+c) = ab+ac

Applying that to this problem, we have:
6(3x) + 6(-1) =
18x - 6

Now, we can take that -10x and put it right back in:

18x - 6 - 10x

Combine like terms and subtract the 10x from the 18x to get:
8x - 6

Hope this helps!
