this assignment has answer choices I keep trying to solve them, but my answers don't match up with the answer choices. Could Someone Please Help ASAP...

Answer 1

can you show us your solution so that we can check where you got mistakes?

Answer 2

8(6a+7b)-11(2b+8b)
42a+52b-22b+88b
42a+30b+88b
(42a+118b)<- but that's not right )': number 6

Answer 3

6*8 is not = 42

Also your problem above has 8a as the last term but in your solution you changed it to 8b

Answer 4

could u help me resolv it????

Answer 5

Fix those 2 mistakes and try again.... :)

Answer 6

i got 136a+34b still not right answer):

Answer 7

8(6a+7b)-11(2b+8a)
=48a + 56b - 22b -88a

did you get that far?

Answer 8

ya

Answer 9

a-ha.... you used +88a

Answer 10

ya???/

Answer 11

But you added. you did 48a + 88a....

Look at it....

=48a + 56b - 22b -88a
=48a - 88a + 56b - 22b

Answer 12

But you said you got 136a, so you ADDED 48a + 88a, that's your error.

Answer 13

26a-32b answer?

Answer 14

no...... your b term was right before, don't change that! Just fix the a term....

=48a - 88a + 56b - 22b
=a(48 - 88) + b(56 - 22)

You will have a negative coefficient for the a, because 88>48

Answer 15

-26a+34b

Answer 16

how did you get -26?

What is 48 - 88?

Answer 17

-40a+34b

Answer 18

Remember how to subtract a bigger number from a smaller one: Switch the order, but then make the answer negative.

E.g. 48 - 88 = -(88 - 48)

Answer 19

There you go! That's it.

Answer 20

mind helping with 5 problems instead of 4 i didn't see one if u don't care helping w/5????????

Answer 21

I have to go, but if you repost your others one at a time (I think you are supposed to post them separately) I'm sure someone else will help you. Just try them yourself first, and then ask someone to check your work as needed!
