5t − 3(1 + t)
5t − 3(1 + t)
simplifying would be : 5t - 3t + 3
distributive property.
2t-3 not plus 3
\[5t-3-3t\]\[2t-3\]
ahh, thanks! what abouutt ...Skate station charges a flat rate of $5.00 per day for skate rental plus $2.00 per hour of skating. If the number of hours is represented by "h", which algebraic expression represents the overall rate for "h" hours of skating?
5d + 2h
$=$5+2h
d = day h = hours
Jon and Lexi are playing a marble game. According to their rules, 6 points are awarded for each red marble collected and 2 points are awarded for each blue marble collected. Which expression represents Jon's total score if he has r red marbles and b blue marbles?
I assumed 1 day...so yulyullie's formula is better.
total = 6r+2b
I would say the same for above.
okay, thanks. cause i got that.. but wasnt so sure..
2t-3=0 2t=3 t=3/2 ?
I think that probably was just to simplify...since it didn't include an = sign. You can assume 0 but I don't :)
yeah. if there was an answer I could use the elimination method to find the value of t but simplifying happens in algebraic EXPRESSIONS.
@TheViper : I think you forgot to distribute the - sign :)
oh yes
5t-3t-3 2t-3
