Claire and 4 friends each bought the same pair of shoes and a purse. The sample shoes did not have a price tag, but the purse wa
s marked $12.95. Their total purchase can be represented by the expression: 5(x + 12.95) where x represents the cost of the shoes. Determine the simplified expression.
take the expression 5( x + 12.95) and make it equal to 0
5( x + 12.95) = 0
then work it out, start by multiplying 5 by everything in the ( )
5x + 64.75 = 0
Therefore i would say the first two are not right and looking at the bottom two the only reason i would say it is not true is becasue of the subtraction sign however i would pick 3 because it is the closest.
