Answer:

2x + -8y + -20

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the parenthisis.

(8x + 7y + 4) - 3(2x - 5y -8)

8x + 7y + 4 - 6x - 15y - 24

Now the like terms... combine 8x and -6, 7y and -15y, last but not least -24 and 4.

To end up with 2x -8y -20

A lunar month has 28 days. About how many lunar months are in a year 365 days?

melomori [17]

To find out the result, we have to divide 365 days by 28 days:

365 / 28 = 13,03571428571429

So we can see it's 13 lunar months with something extra. To find that something extra we can multiply 28 by 13 and then substract the result from 365:

365 - (13 * 28) =
= 365 - 364 =
= 1

So there are 13 lunar months and one day.

$4x+2 \ \textless \ 2x-2\ \ \ |subtract\ 2\ from\ both\ sides\\\\4x \ \textless \ 2x -4\ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\2x \ \textless \ -2\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\\boxed{x \ \textless \ -2}\to\boxed{x\in(-\infty;-2)}$
