I’m pretty sure it’s A. Sorry if I’m wrong!
Answer:
-2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x - 6) is subtracted from (7 - 5).
First term that into an equation.
Because our first term is being subtracted from our second one, our equation is written as:
(7 - 5) - (2x - 6).
Simplify the first term by subtracting:
7 - 5 = 2
Now simplify the second term by multiplying 2x - 6 by -1 to get them out of the parenthesis. We do this because there is a negative sign in front of it.
-1 (2x - 6)
-2x + 6
Now our equation is:
2 - 2x + 6
Combine like terms:
2 + 6 = 8
So -2x + 8
(2x - 6) subtracted from (7 - 5) is -2x+8
60.
The question gives you the fact that 6 bricks is 2 feet high.
What do you do to get from 2 to 20?
You multiply by 10.
Since you multiplied one thing by 10, you must do it to the other side so it remains balanced.
2 ft x 10ft = 20ft
6 bricks x 10 bricks = 60 bricks
