Simplify

1) -6-7(C+10)
64-7C
-76-7C**
4-13C
-16-13C

2) 5x+6(x-2) -8(x-3)
19x+36
19x+12
3x-36
3x+12

For question 2

Oops I meant to say for question 2 I got 9x-11x, so I know something went wrong there.

Question 2 is 3x+12

1. is right and 2. Simplifying

5x + 6(x + -2) + -8(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
5x + 6(-2 + x) + -8(x + -3)
5x + (-2 * 6 + x * 6) + -8(x + -3)
5x + (-12 + 6x) + -8(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
5x + -12 + 6x + -8(-3 + x)
5x + -12 + 6x + (-3 * -8 + x * -8)
5x + -12 + 6x + (24 + -8x)

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 24 + 5x + 6x + -8x

Combine like terms: -12 + 24 = 12
12 + 5x + 6x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + 6x = 11x
12 + 11x + -8x

Combine like terms: 11x + -8x = 3x
12 + 3x

did that help u

Yes that helped a lot, thank you so much Jess :D!

no problem do u need any more help with math

srry it changed my name lol but if u need more help i can see if i know the answers

yes could you tell me if these are correct?

1) r/15 is equal or more then -3
my answer was -45, is that right?

2) -8x>-64
my answer was x<8, is that right?

ya think they are right but if they are wrong will u tell me

lol ya but on tip try understand math more then ever cuz 9th grade is way harder

Thanks for the tip, I'll really try to pay more attention in the next semester and grasp the taught lessons. By the way, I'm only two questions away from finishing the test so I'll post the answers in a bit to show if you were right or not :)

lol ok thx and ur welcome

You were correct!!

Please do not post these answers. Jiskha is a help board, not a cheat board. Besides your Connections teachers do not allow students to share test answers.

hey my math teacher told me to help kids that need it. and thx connections. and all i did was tip her and i don't see what is wrong with that she helped me to see if i was right and i helped he

I was just showing her that she was correct on those two answers, I didn't post the whole 21 question test.
