Mathematics

Answer:

-x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have negative (minus) sign before tha bracket so when you break it out, it would be opposite to the sign that is inside the bracket:

- (x + 5) + 3

= -x + (-5) + 3

= -x - 5 + 3

= -x -2

This is the simpliest form

Hope this helped :3

A gardener has a container with 6 1/5 ounces of liquid plant fertilizer on Sunday the gardener uses 2 1/2 ounces on a flower gar
sergey [27]
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the container that the gardener has = 6 1/5 pounds
                                                                                                               = 31/5 pounds
We already know that 1 pound = 16 ounce
Then
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the
container that the gardener has = (31/5) * 16 ounce
                                                    = 496/5 pounds                                                          
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer that the gardener uses on Sunday = 2 1/2 ounces
                                                                                                         = 5/2 ounces
Then
The amount of liquid plant fertilizer that are left= (496/5) - (5/2) ounces
                                                                           = (992 - 25)/10 ounces
                                                                           = 967/10 ounces
                                                                           = 96.7 ounces
So the total amount of liquid plant fertilizer left is 96.7 ounces.
