6(2r-5)+2r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st distribute the 6 into the ( )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6(2r-5)+2r 6*2r - 6*5 +2r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So far so good @LunaaChanel ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dfav i got 12-30 as my answer .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 12r-30 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes good but you are not finished

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ._. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have 12r-30+2r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you finish it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i did that part and got 12r-30 ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12r+2r - 30 = ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No -> 12r+2r-30 = 14r-30 = 2(7r-15) Do you see how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really the last one i don't really understand .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you observe the 1st step 14r-30, you will notice both 14 and 30 have a common factor of 2. So to simplify I factored out the 2 and am left with 7r and -15. Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but the answer isnt in my answer choice .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. Use the 14r-30 then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or what are your choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its there , chose that one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much :)))
