Hi Grant.

(3x + 5) + (2x - 9) is what we'll start with. Considering we cannot combine variables with numbers, we can only combine like-terms.

3x + 2x; 5 - 9; we result with: 5x - 4

Now, we are left with (5x - 4) - (4x + 3)
Remember to distribute the negative sign to everything to the right.

(5x - 4) - 4x - 3. We are now able to simplify and solve for our answer.

5x - 4x; -4 - 3; we result with x - 7.

Your answer is A.) x - 7.

I hope this helps!

Alisa is making bracelets with leather bands. each bracelet uses 7 3/4 inches of leather banding. she plans to make 4 bracelets.

Artyom0805 [142]

Each bracelet is $7 \frac{3}{4} inches$

Turn it into an improper fraction

Multiply 7 and 4 and add 3 which is over 4 which is $\frac{31}{4}$

Multiply by 4 | for each bracelet being made

$\frac{31}{4} * \frac{4}{1}$ $= \frac{124}{4}$

124÷4=31

Answer:

You need 31 inches to make all the braclets
