Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? (17x + 7) - 5x A.17x + 2 B.22x + 7 C.12x + 7 D.12x - 7

@MAli13chineta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, this one is easy!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with 5 of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for fan and medals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do 17x-5x because they're like terms, and that gives you 12x+7. that's the same expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1417650069055:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I was alittle slow..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17x+7-5x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok take all your time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, then since 17x and -5x are like terms, solve 17x-5x+7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i think i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats for you to solve hun..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Keridavis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, because 7 is positive still.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iishineontheinside

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 9(10 + 5x) + 13 A.45x + 103 B.45x + 77 C.45x - 103 D.5x + 103

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so for this one, 9 is outside the bracket of 10+5x. This means that you need to take 10 and multiply it by both terms in the bracket.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*take 9 and multiple it by both terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will it be A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? (2x + 11) + 9x A.(2x + 9x) + 11 B.(2x + 11x) + 9 C.22x D.(2x - 9x) + 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add a 1 infront of (2x + 11) 1 times 2x and 1 times 11 add both numbers with the X behind them together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's the same as the first question. this question is basically the same as 2x+11+9x because there isn't a coefficient outside of the brackets. 2x+9x+11 is equivalent to one of the expression answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the coefficient is technically 1 and not B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the equation doesn't have a 9 or an 11x in it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 7(4x - 4) A.7x - 8 B.28x - 28 C.28x + 28 D.7x - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like the second question, multiply 7 by the terms inside the brackets.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, what's a negative number multiplied by a positive number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the -4 is saying that 4 is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, because you still need to multiply the coefficient by what's in the brackets.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 7 times 4x and 7 times -4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

7 ( 4x - 4) = 7 * 4x - 7 * 4 = 28x - 28
