Answer:
2. B
3. B
4. 2(7k+5h)
5. $325
Step-by-step explanation:
2) "X decreased by the sum of 2x + 5" Decreased means to be lowered, so that means this problem has subtraction in it. It also says x is being decreased BY the sum of 2x + 5 so that means 2x + 5 needs to be solved, which calls for parentheses. B best fits the description.
3) It is B because if you distribute the 8 to 2a and 3b, you'll get 16a and 24b, which is the given expression.
4) The given expression is 10h + 14k and in the equivalent expression, you are given 5h. To get from 10 to 5, you must divide by 2. This tells you that 2 is being distributed, so you put 2 before the parentheses. Since you divided 10 by 2, you want to do the same to 14, which is 7. Therefore, it is 2(7k+5h).
5) You are given the hourly charge, which is $25. This means that they charge $25 per hour/for every hour. You want to find the cost for 13 hours, so you multiply the hourly charge by 13 hours. 25 x 13 = 325.
The least common denominator of 10 and 15 is 30. It's easiest to use trial and error to find the LCD. In this case, just multiply both numbers by 2 and see if that works. Since 15 doesn't go into 20, I tried multiplying 15 by 2 instead, and got 30, which is divisible by 2. If that doesn't work, move on to multiplying them by 3, then 4 four, and so on. However, in this case, it did work, so, since you multiplied 15 by two to get 30, multiply 7 by two to get the fraction 14/30. Then, since you multiplied 10 by 3 to get 30, multiply 2 by 3 to get 6/30. Then, add the two together to get 20/30 and simplify the fraction to 2/3.
2/10 + 7/15 Given.
6/30 + 14/30 LCD.
20/30 Add.
2/3 Simplify.
