Without the confusing parentheses, this "polynomial" becomes -8x + x -2x. If we take 2 away from -8, it becomes -10. If we add a positive x, it becomes -9x. Therefore, the answer is (the monomial) -9x.

He would need to pay $44 for the purchase because
10% x $40 = $4
$40 + $4 = $44

Can you solve the inequality 2(x-3) is less than or equal to 10 without using the distributive property? Explain.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Yes, without using the distributive property, we get the value for the given expression 2(x - 3) ≤ 10 as x ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

2(x - 3) ≤ 10

Yes, the given expression can be solved without using the DISTRIBUTIVE Property

Here, consider the given expression:

2(x - 3) ≤ 10

Now, divide the inequality by 2 on both sides, we get:

$\frac{2(x-3)}{2} \leq \frac{10}{2}\\\implies (x - 3) \leq 5$

Now adding (+3) on both the sides, we get:

(x - 3) ≤ 5 ⇒ (x - 3 + 3 ) ≤ 5 + 3

or, x ≤ 8

Hence, without using the distributive property, we get the value of x ≤ 8 for the given expression 2(x - 3) ≤ 10
