Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: number 1 is x <-15 because first simplify both sides of equation -1/5 x > 3 then multiple both sides by 5/(-1) (5/-1) x (-1x5) > (5/-1) x (3) which x < -15
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
4:8 and 3:6 when simplified gives the same result which is 1:2
You need to tell how many percent you will discount and then find the new price
(x + 9)(x + 12) = 0
Expanding the brackets, we get:
