Answer: Original expression: 2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3(x-4)
Simplified: 9x - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3(x-4) becomes 2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3x -12
Group like terms, then combine to simplify:
2x + 4x + 3x -11 + 7 - 12
2x + 4x + 3x = 9x
-11 -12 + 7 = =23+7= -16
Simplified expression: 9x - 16
12x > 18x - 27 - 15, 12x > 18x - 42, 0 > 6x - 42, 42 > 6x, 7 > x, x < 7
70
They both can multiply to reach it and it is the lowest one (no multiple of 7 can end on a 10 below that).
