The Answer choices are A.3x − 7 B. x − 21 C. x − 7 D. x + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is 3 divide by 3? and what is 21 divided by 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just DISTRIBUTE the 3 to every thing... first the 3... 3 divided by 3 then by 21 which should give yu which letter...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3x_7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below: -5x + 20 Divided by -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same like the one above -5 divided by -5 is 1 or x... -5 divided by 20 is -4 so x-4 should be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It asks me to Simplify the following expression. 2x − 2y + 3z − 2x − y + 2z = ? A) 4x − 3y + 5z B) −2y − 3y + 5z C) −2x − 3y + 6z D)−3y + 5z How would i do this??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay but i just wanna know how i would find A to be the correct answer. What are the steps , the like terms??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cz u do the like terms cz 2x times 2x is 4 and so on>>>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn where you come from like let a chick have a chance @sarahashley .... but i guess thats right what she said all the like terms or all the ones that have the same letter behind them you combine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x times 2x is 4x and 2y minus y is -3y and then 3z plus 2z is 5z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha :) thank you both so much i am loving all the help, im good a t math but sometimes i suck.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i totally understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below: t − 5(3 + t) A) −4t + 15 B) −5t − 2 C) −5t − 15 D) −4t − 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be d. Just multiply 3 by 5 and 5 by 5. Dont forget the negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*5 by t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a -4t+15

OpenStudy (anonymous):
