Expressions can be represented as equations, and vice versa.
A possible situation is as follows:
<em>John is 15 years old, and his age is 3 more than 5 times his brother's age</em>
The equation is given as:

- 15 represents John's age
- P represents his brother's age
- 5 and 3 are the constants that relate their ages

Answer:
1 1/30 gallons, or 31/30 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Before these fractions can be added together they have to have a common denominator. The Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30, so
1/3 = 10/30 1/5 = 6/30 1/2 = 15/30
10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30 = 31/30, or 1 1/30
5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b
= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)
= 2a - 4b
