7 worms, 3 beetles, 2 lizards
I found this by first doing the calculations for the number of legs (26). First, I added the legs for the 3 beetles together to get 18 legs. Then I added the legs for 2 lizards (8) to the beetles’ legs to get 26 legs in total.To find the number of heads I added the number of lizard heads (2) and beetles heads (3) to get five heads. Then I added the 7 worm’s heads to the lizard and beetles heads to get 12 heads in total.

Is -8-2(3+2n)+7n equivalent to -30-13n. Explain why or why not.

seropon [69]

No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers

(-) + (-) = (-)
(-) × (-) = (+)
(-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
(-) × (+) = (-)
(-) - (+) = (-)
(+) - (-) = (+)

∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n

- Simplify it

∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n

- Multiply the bracket by (-)

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n

- Add the like terms

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n

∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
