-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:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
If 6 = 5%, then 6 = 1/20 of the total grade. 6×20= 120
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess, it means every meter costs these amounts.
and the specified costs are not fit the whole bundle.
it is also unclear, if "half of it" means half of the original x meters, or half of the remaining meters (after selling 2/5 of the original meters). I assume the first.
so, we have
-5x
+ 2/5x × 5.5
+ 1/2x × 6.4
+ (10/10 - 4/10 - 5/10)x × 6 = + 1/10x × 6
= 120 ( a income minus costs is the profit, so balancing both sides in a "+" and "-" expression gives us the remaining profit).
about the line with the 1/10 :
the leftovers. 10/10 is the whole x at the beginning.
2/5 = 4/10.
1/2 = 5/10.
I brought all involved fractions to the same denominator of the smallest common multiple of 2 and 5 (10).
in full
-5x + (2/5)x×5.5 + (1/2)x×6.4 + (1/10)x×6 = 120
-5x + 2.2x + 3.2x + 0.6x = 120
-5x + 6x = 120
x = 120
so, he bought 120m in the first place.
This is crazy. If I'm reading this right (I'm not sure why there are spaces put in between some of those numbers like there is), I'm getting that the answer is
-1079.242293. But again, those spaces are throwing me off. I eliminated the spaces between the numbers while I was performing the operations in order.
