@coolshava

Answer 1

im thinking its either B or c

Answer 2

yeah. the difference is that it's 5(2x) MINUS 5(8). that trips me up a lot.

Answer 3

why C or B

Answer 4

look to the sign

Answer 5

maybe 5/2 ?

Answer 6

10x-8

Answer 7

whenever you're using distributive, it's usually going to be multiplying. you were right with the B or C part, you just need to look at the signs on the original problem too.

Answer 8

ok 10x-40 becuase its subration?

Answer 9

5(2x-8)=5*2x-5*8

Answer 10

yeah

Answer 11

yeah

@coolshava @AJ01

Answer 14

just do the same thing

Answer 15

3(5-12)+4/4
3*5-3*12+4/4
15-36+1

Answer 16

multiply 3 by the others?

Answer 17

-19?

Answer 18

15-36= -21 +1 = -20 @AJ01

Answer 19

15-36+1=16-36=-20

Answer 20

but that isnt one of the options? @AJ01

Answer 21

i know that... if you didn't miss anything in the question then this is the answer

Answer 22

\[3(5-12)+\frac{ 4 }{ 4 }=-20\]

Answer 23

its not 4 4ths its 4 divided by 4 @AJ01

Answer 24

rewrite it using Equation form

Answer 25

i have no idea i seriously suck at math @AJ01

Answer 26

ok it is like this :
\[3(5-12)+4/4\]
or
\[\frac{ 3(5-12)+4 }{ 4}\]

Answer 27

so -19? @AJ01

Answer 28

the closest is -19 but still not right

Answer 29

what about 23?

Answer 30

non of the 2 form that i wrote would give -19

Answer 31

maybe is a miss take in the book

Answer 32

if the problem 3(5-12)+(4/4) then the answer is -20.
