0.2(5x – 0.3) – 0.5(–1.1x + 4.2) = 6.5x – 2.06
Solution:
Given expression is 0.2(5x – 0.3) – 0.5(–1.1x + 4.2).
To simplify the expression, first multiply the common term within the bracket.
0.2(5x – 0.3) – 0.5(–1.1x + 4.2)
= (5x × 0.2 – 0.3 × 0.2) + (–1.1x × (–0.5) + 4.2 × (–0.5))
= (1x – 0.06) + (5.5x – 2.1)
= x – 0.06 + 5.5x – 2
Combine like terms together.
= x + 5.5x – 0.06 – 2
= 6.5x – 2.06
0.2(5x – 0.3) – 0.5(–1.1x + 4.2) = 6.5x – 2.06
Hence the simplified form of 0.2(5x – 0.3) – 0.5(–1.1x + 4.2) is 6.5x – 2.06.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
40
Discussion:
A diagram is always appreciated!
Assuming that
mAOC = mAOB + mBOC =>
108 = (3x + 4) + (8x - 28) => combine common terms
108 = (3x + 8x) + (4 - 28 ) =>
108 = 11x - 24 => add 24 to both sides
132 = 11x =>
x = 132/11 = 12
So mAOB = 3x + 4 = 3(12) + 4 = 36 + 4 = 40
Thank you,
MrB
