not sure what the dots are supposed to mean..
but i think it's 6B5??
-3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + (-3) (6 - 4b)
First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + -3 (6 - 4b)
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) - 3 (b - 4b)
Third, expand your problem. / Your problem should look like: -3x + 15 - 8y - 16 - 18 + 12b
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19
Answer: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19 (D)
Answer: $10
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the price of the phone case is x.
Assume the price of the charging cord is y.
Discounted price for phone case : 15% * x
= 0.15x
Discounted price for charging cord = 0.15y
Expression is therefore:
0.15x + 0.15y = 4.20
0.15 * 18 + 0.15y = 4.20
2.7 + 0.15y = 4.20
0.15y = 4.2 - 2.7
y = 1.5/0.15
y = $10
