rewrite the expression 11(23 - x) without using grouping symbols

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Do you know how to distribute?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not realy

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Basically, you would multiply the outside by everything in the inside, so you would multiply 11 and 23, and then multiply 11 and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would x equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

X wouldn't equal anything because you're just rewriting, so you would just keep it as x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 11 times 23 - 11x

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yes, exactly!

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Now just find the answer to 11 times 23 instead and put that instead and youre good to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

253

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Right! So what would the rewritten expression look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

253 - 11x

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yep, good work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but it doesnt show that as a choice

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Really? What are the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it only shows 11 times 23 - 11x

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Ohh.. ok, yeah that works too!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 11 times 23 - x b. 1123 - 11x c. 11 + 23 - 11 + x d. 11 times 23 - 11x

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Then yeah, you were right. It is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks can you help whith 1 more

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y divided by 2 times 4 - 10 divided by x + 6 where x = 5 and y = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. -5 b. -9 c. 111 d. 16

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So it looks like (y/2) times (4-10) ----- (x+6) From that point, let's start out by plugging in 5 for x and 6 for y

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Actually, I don't see the answer here... hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6/2 times 4 - 10 divided by 6 + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meen 5 + 6

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yeah

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

But after doing it all, you get like 1.36, which isn't an answer choice which is strange

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to evualate expression using the givan value of the variable

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Would you mind if you took a picture of the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol how

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Go to the page and click "Prt Sc" at the top of your keyboard. Then open up the program "Paint". When open, press paste. Then save it to your desktop. Then attach the file
