Answer: -11x+15
Step-by-step explanation: distributed property: 2x+2-3x-7-10x+20, -11x+15
Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.

Answer:
- Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given expressions</u>
- 4x - x + 5 = 3x + 5
- 8 - 3x - 3 = -3x + 5
Compared, we see the expressions are different as 3x and -3x have different coefficient
<u>Answer options</u>
Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
- Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent
