OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like on the earlier question, You'll have to combine like terms and use the order of operations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one is a bit diferent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 8 by each term inside the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19.2r-24.8s-6(1.5r+2.4s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then muliply -6 by each term inside ( ). 19.2r-24.8s-9r-14.4s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you follow so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, since 19.2 and -9r are like terms, add -9r to 19.2 to get 10.2r.
