Answer:
-6x + 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This problem doesn't have a sign between 2 and 16, we would have to assume it is addition since 16 is 16 positive.
First we have to do distributive property,
-4 x 3x = -12x and -4 x -1 = 4
The equation should look like this:
-12x+4 + 6x + 2 + 16
Then combine like terms meaning do -12x + 6x
The answer should be -6x
The equation: -6x + 4 + 2 + 16
Then solve 4+2+16 which should equal 22
The answer: -6x + 22
Simplified!
You will need to set up and solve 2 equations:
A) 3 Vans + 10 Buses = 379
B) 14Vans + 13 Buses = 624
Multiply equation A by -14
A) -42 Vans -140 Buses = -5,306 then Multiply equation B by 3
B) 42 Vans + 39 Buses = 1,872
Adding BOTH equations
-101 Buses = -3,434
Each Bus holds 34 Students
Putting this into equation A
A) 3 Vans + 10 Buses = 379
A) 3 Vans + 10 * 34 = 379
A) 3 Vans +340 = 379
A) 3 Vans = 39
Each van = 13 students
You would set it up as .2 x 26, which would be 5.2
Answer: yes it would be C because deconstructed, it’s z + z + 6 which is the same as the original statement
