Hey there!
“Which expression is equivalent to b + b – 0.56b?”
• “b” or any other letter value is considered an “unknown number” so usually we label it/them as an invisible 1
• COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
(b + b – 0.56b)
(1b + 1b – 0.56b)
1b + 1b = 2b
2b – 0.56b = 1.44b
• Therefore, b + b – 0.56b is equivalent to 2b + 0.56b
Possible answer that you could be looking for: 2b + 0.56b ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

<span>3x + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 3x
y = (8 - 3x)/2</span>
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6
3x+6-5
Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3
5x-x-3 = 4x-3
4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1
x=4
2(11 + 3x) = 64
11 + 3x =64/2
11 + 3x = 32
3x = 32 - 11
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
A.
Given:
The equation is

The incorrect solution steps are given.
To find:
The first error.
Solution:
We have,

Using distributive property, we get


The given step 1 is
, which is not correct.
Therefore, there is first error in step 1 because the distribution property is not used properly.
Hence, the correct option is D.
