Question

6.
Choose the equivalent expression.

-1.2x + 0.4 + 0.8x + 2x + 0.6
-2x + 3
0.2(-12x + 1)
0.2(8x + 5)
4x + 1.2

Answer 1

Combine like terms:

-1.2x + 0.8x + 2x

0.4 + 0.6

Can you add those?

Answer 2

then combine the other like terms- -1.2x+2x. can you add those as well?

Answer 3

Adding terms with the same variable is the same thing as adding regular numbers..

32b + 9b - 16b

32 + 9 - 16 = 25

So 32b + 9b - 16b = 25b.

We just keep the variable.

Answer 4

So can you add -1.2 + 0.8 + 2? @chycora

Answer 5

yes and hold up real quick

Answer 6

Okay, tell me what you get.

Answer 7

-1.2x + 0.8x + 2x=4
0.4 + 0.6=1

Answer 8

Yes, 0.4 + 0.6 = 1 this is correct.

but -1.2x + 0.8x + 2x isn't 4..

Answer 9

um 1.6

Answer 10

Yes, so we have:

1.6x + 1

Answer 11

So our answer will be C, because when we distribute 0.2 into the parenthesis we get 1.6x + 1.

Answer 12

o ok thanx luv

Answer 13

0.2(8x + 5) so this is the answer right
