Answer:
2a + 30
Step-by-step explanation:
break it down so it is 4(a+5)
then work out -2(a-5)
so 4 x a then 4 x 5 which gives 4a + 20
then -2 x a then -2 x -5 which gives -2a + 10
then when you have 4a + 20 -2a + 10
do 4a - 2a which is 2a
do 20 + 10 which is 30
so the answer comes to 2a + 30

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
For this question, it would be most effective to use an algebraic expression to more easily show what the question is asking. If we use the variable "k" to show the distance in km that he cycled on Sunday, we know that the amount he cycled on Saturday equals k + 12, and the amount that he cycled on the weekend should be the amount of Saturday plus the amount of Sunday. If we write this as an equation we say:
k + k + 12 = 38
=> 2k + 12 = 38
Now we can just rearrange and solve for k:
=> 2k = 26
=> k = 26/2 = 13
Therefore Patrick cycled 13km on Sunday
To solve the answer, we just add 12km to the value for Sunday like so:
12 + 13 = the amount he cycled on Sunday
Hope this helped, remember to please try and understand the maths as well as the answer :))
