Answer:

7b - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use distributive property which is x (a + b) = x*a + x*b and x (a - b) = x*a - x*b. Therefore, the expression is 2*b + 2*4 + 5*b - 5*3 which is:

2b + 8 + 5b - 15, which is, if you combine like terms:

7b - 7

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call N the total number of televisions. We have that 240 televisions make up of 80% of the total number of televisions, so we can rewrite it as

$0.80 N = 240$

where 0.80 means 80 % ( $\frac{80}{100}=0.8$ . By solving the equation above, we find

$N=\frac{240}{0.80}=300$

So, the total number of televisions is 300.
