(2m + 7) - (3 - 4m)
First distribute the (-) in front of the quantity of 3 - 4m.
Think of it as this:
-1(3 - 4m)
You multiply each number inside the parenthesis by -1.
So:
3*-1 = -3
-4m * -1 = 4m
Now that you've distributed the negative you can remove the parenthesis.
Now you'll just set it all up like you would any normal problem. Because -3 is negative you'll make it subtract.... I'll show you what I mean:
2m + 7 - 3 + 4m
Combine like terms (Terms which have the same variables... in this case the same number of m's)
Rearranging them can help!
4m + 2m + 7 - 3
6m + 7 - 3
6m + 4, is our difference!
To figure out the cost for 180 packages, you must first calculate how many packages they bought for $72. Since each case holds 12 packages, for $72, the company bought 24 packages (12×2). Then you have to divide 24 into 180 to figure out the cost for those 180 packages and get 7.5. To get the cost of the 180 packages, you must multiply 7.5 (the number of 24 packages that go into 180) by 72 (the cost of one group of 24 packages). You then get 540. The company must pay $540 for the 180 packages.
Answer:
19y-9
Step-by-step explanation:
apply distributive property
-3(-4y)-3 x 3 + 7y
12y - 3 x 3 + 7y
12y - 9 + 7y
add 12y to 7y
19y-9

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
190 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 congruent square bases: 5 cm * 5 cm * 2 = 50 cm^2
There are 4 congruent rectangular sides: 5 cm * 7 cm * 4 = 140 cm^2
Total surface area: 50 cm^2 + 140 cm^2 = 190 cm^2
